CARE  OF  FORTIFICATIONS. 

36.  No  person  shall  be  permitted  to  walk  upon  any  of  the  slopes  of  a 
fortificatiouvexcept  the  ramps  and  glacis.  If,  in  any  case,  it  be  neces- 
sary to  provide  for  crossing  them,  it  should  be  done  by  placing  wooden 
steps  or  stairs  against  the  slopes.  The  occasional  walking  of  persons 
on  a  parapet  will  do  no  harm,  provided  it  be  not  allowed  to  cut  the  sur- 
face into  paths. 

37.  No  cattle,  horses,  or  other  animal  shall  ever  be  permitted  to  go 
upon  the  slopes,  the  ramparts,  or  the  parapets,  nor  upon  the  glacis,  ex- 
cept within  fenced  limits,  which  should  not  approach  the  crest  nearer 
than  30  feet.  .  •  . 

38.  All  grassed  surfaces,  excepting  the  glacis,  will  be  carefully  and 
frequently  mowed,  (except  in  dry  weather,)  and  the  oftener  the  better, 
while  growing  rapidly — the  grass  being  never  allowed  to  be  more  than 
a  few  inches  high.  In  order  to  cut  the  grass  even  and  close,  upon  small 
slopes,  a  light  one-handed  scvtlie  should  be  used  ;  and  in  mowing  the 
steep  slopes,  the  mower  should 'stand  on  a  light  ladder  resting  against 
the  slope,  and  not  upon  the  grass.  Crops  of  hay  may  be  cut  on  the  glacis; 
or,  if  fenced,  it  may  be  used  as  pasture,  otherwise  it  should  be  treated 
us  other  slojles  of  the  fortification.  On  all  the  slopes,  spots  of  dead 
grass  will  be  cut  out  and  repla<ced  by  fresh  sod.  All  weeds  will  be 
eradicated.  .         .       .         . 

39.  The,burning  of  gniss  upon  any  portion  of  a  fortification  is  strict- 
ly forbidden. 

40.  Particular  attention  is  required  to  prevent  the  formation  of  gul- 
lies in  the  parade,  torreplein,  and  ramps,  and  especially  in  slopes  where 

■  grass  is  not  well  established. 

41.  Earth,  sand  or  ashes,  must  not  bo  placed  against  wood  work  ;  a

free  ventilation  must  be  preserved  around  it ;  and  all  wooden  floors, 
platforms,  bridges,  &c.,  will  be  kept  clean  swept. 

42.  The  machinery  of  draw  bridges,  gates,  and  posterns  must*bo 
kept  in  good  working  order  by  proper  cleaning  and  oiling  of  the  parts  ; 
the  bridges  will,be  raised,  and  the  gates  and  posterns  opened  as  often 
as  once  a  week. 

43.  The  terrepleins  of  forts,  the  floors  of  casemates,  caponniers,  store- 
rooms, barracks,  galleries,  posterns,  magazines,  &c.,  and  the  side-walks 
in  front  of  quarters,  as  well  as  other  wrtlks,  are  sometimes  paved  with" 
brick  or  stones,  or  formed  of  concrete.  These  su; faces  must  be  pre-' 
served  from  injury  with  great  care.  In  transporting  guns  and  carriages, 
and  in  mounting  them,  strong  way-planks  will  be  used,  and  neitiier  the 
wheels  nor  any  other  part  of  the  carriages,  nor  any  machinery,  such. as 
sliears.'gins,  &c.,  nor  any  hauvlspike  or  other  implements,  will  be  al- 
lowed to  touch  those  surfaces.  Unless  protected  in  a  similar  manner, 
no  wheel  barrow,  or  vehicle,  or  barrel,  shaft  be  rolled  oh  faid  surfaces. 
No  violent  work  will  be  done,  nor  any  heavy  weight  suffered,  to  fall 
upon  them.  In  using  machines,  as  gins,  &c.,  in  casemates,  care  must 
be  taken  not  to  injure  the  arc!),  or  ceiling,  or  floors.  Neglect  of  ^ese 
precautions  may  cause  injuries  apparently  slight,  but  serious  in  efi"ect, 
from  leaking  of  water  into  masoiwy,  casemates,  &c.  , 

4i.  The  doors  and  windows  of  all  store  rooms  and  occupied  case- 
mates, quarters,  barracks,  &c.,  will  bfe  opbried  several  times  a  week  fur 
thorough  ventilation. 

45.  Masonry  shot-furnaces  will  be  liGnted  only  on  the  approach  of  an 
enemy.   For  ordinary  practice  with  hot  shot,  iron  furnaces  are  provided. 

4G.  The  fcyegoing  matters  involve  but  little  expense  ;  the  labor  is 
within  the  means  of  every  garrison)  and  no  technical  knowledge  is  re- 
quired beyond  what  will  be  found  among  soldiers.  Other  repairs  re- 
quiring small  disbursements,  such  as  rfepflintlng'eiposed  wood  or  iron 
work,  can  be  also  executed  by  the  garrison  ;  but  feports,  estimates,  and 
requisitions,  may  be  necessary  to  obtain  the  materials.  .       •!• 

47.  No  alteration  will  be  made  in  any  fortification,  or  in  any  build- 
ing whatever  belonging  to  it,  nor  in  anybuilding  oi'  work  of  any  kind  ; 
nor  will  any  building  or  work  of  earth,  masonry,  ot*  timber,  be  erected 
within  the  fortification,  or  on  its  exterior,  within  half  a  mile,  except 
under  the  superintendence  of  the  Engineer  department,  and  by  au- 
thority of  the  Secretary  of  War. 

ARTICLE  X. 

CARE   OF    ARMAMENT    OF    FORTIFICATIONS. 

48.  At  each  permanent  post  with  a  fixed  battery,  and  garrisoned  by 
not  more  than  one  company,  there  will  be  kept  mounted  for  purposes  of 
instruction  and  target  practice,  fhree  heavy  guns  ;  and  at  posts  garri- 
soned by  more  than  one  comjjany,  at  th«  rate  of  iwo  for  each  of  the 
companies  composing  its  garrison.  The  other  guns  dismounted  will  be 
priiperly  placed  within  their  own  traverse  circles,  and  the  carriages 
preserved  from  the  weather^  •  * 

49.  All  guns  should  be  sponged  clean,  and  their  vents  examined  to 
SCO  that  they  are  clear.  The  chassis  should  be  traversed  and  left  in  a 
different  position,  the  top  carriage  moved  backward  and  forward,  and 


6  ARTILLERY   PRACTICE. 

left  aUernataly  over  the  front  and  rear  transoms  of  the  chassis  ;  the 
elevating  screws  or  machines  wiped  clean,  worked  and  oiled  if  required, 
and  the  nuts  of  all  bolts  screwed  up  tight.  This  should  all  be  done 
regularly  once  in  every  week. 

50.  When  tarpaulins,  or  pent  houses,  are  plnced  over  the  guns,  they 
should  be  removed  once  a  week  when  the  weather  is  fftir,  the  carriages 
and  guns  brushed  off,  and  if  damp,  allowed  to  dry. 

51.  An  old  sponge  staff  and  head,  should  be  used  for  drill.  The  new 
sponges  should  neve^  be  used  unless  the  gun  is  tired.  The  implements 
should  be  kept  in  stores,  under  cover,  and  be- examined,  wiped  clean,  or 
brushed  at  least  once  a  month.  In  case  of  leath«?r  equipments,  due 
care  should  be  taken  for  their  preservation,  by  the  use  of  oil,  but  never 
using  varnisii.   »  ' 

'52.  Magazines  should  be  frequently  examined  to  see  that  the-powder 
is  well  "preserved.  They  should  be  opened  every  other  day,  when  the 
air  is  dry  and  clear.  Buri-^ls  of  powder  should  be  turned  and  rolled 
occasionally.  Under  ordinary  circumstances,  only  a  few  cartridges 
should  be  kept  filled.  If  the  paper  body  of  the  cartridge  becomes  soft, 
or  loses  its  sizin;',  it  is  certain  that  the  magazine  is  very  damp,  and 
mtaiis  should  be  found  to  improve  the  ventilation.  Cartridge  bags  may 
be  kept  in  the  magazine  ready  for  filling;  also  port-fires,  fuses,  tubes, 
and  primers.  Stands  of  grape,  cannister,  and  wads,  for  barbette  guns, 
should  be  kept  in  st  ire  with  the  implements.  In  casemate  guns,  wads 
may  be  hung  in  bundles,  and  grape  and  cannister  near  the  guns.  Shot, 
■Veil  lacquered  and  clean,  may  be  pi  iced  in  piles  near  the  guns. 

ARTICLE  XI. 

ARTILLERY    PRACTICE. 

53.  At  all  posts  with  fixed  batteries;  the  position  of  every  gun, 
mounted  or  to  be  mounted,  will  -have  its  number,  and  this  number  be 
placed  on  the  gun  when  in  position. 

"'54.  For  every  such  work  a  post-Vx)ok  of  record  will  be  kept,  under 
the  direction  of  the  commander  of  the  post,  in  which  will  be  duly  en- 
tered the  number  of  each  mounted  a;un,  its  calibre,  weight,  names  of 
founder,  and  its  inspector,  and  other  marks :  the  description  of  its  cnr- 
A'age  and  date  of  reception  at  the  post ;  where  from,  and  the  greatest 
field  of  fire  of  the  gun  In  its  position. 

55.  Every  commander  of  a  fort,  or  other  fixed  battery,  will,  before 
entering  on  artillery  practice,  carefully  reconnoitre,  and  cause  to  be 
sketched  for  his  record  book,  the  water  channels,  with  their  soundings 
and  other  approaches  to  the  work.  Buoys  or  marks  will  be  placed  at 
the  extreme  and  intermediate  ranges  of  the  guns,  and  these  marks  be 
numerically  noted  on  the  sketch.  A  buoy  at  every  five  hundred  yards 
may  suflice. 

56.  At  the  time  of  practice  a  distinct  and  careful  note  vrill  be  made 
for  the  record  book,  of  every  shot  or  shell  that  may  be  thrown,  desig- 
nating'the  guns  fired  by  their  numbers,  the  charges  of  powder  used, 
the  time  of  flight  of  shots  and  shells,  the  ranges  and  ricochets,  and  the 
positions  of  guns  in  respect  to  the  horizontal  and  vertical  lines. 

57.  The  time  of  flight  of  a  shell  may  be  noted  with  sufiicient  aecurncy 
by  a  stop-watch,  or  by  counting  the, beats  (previously  ascertaining  their 


REGIMENTS.  7 

value)  of  other  watches,  and  the  range  maysomelimcs  be  computed  by 
the  time  of  flight.  Other  modes  ascertaining  the  range  will  readily  oc- 
cur to  (ifBcers  of  science. 

58.  When  charged  shells  with  fuze  are  thrown,  the  time  of  bursting 
will  be  noted.  If  fhey  are  intended  to  full  on  land,  only  a  blowing 
charge  will  be  given  to  the  shells,  so  that  tlicy  may  be  picked  up  for 
further  u^ 

59.  On  Tilling  from  the  barrel,  the  proof  range  of  powder  will  be 
marked  on  the  cartridges.  , 

60.  The  general  objects  of  thig  practice  are,  to  give  to  officers  and 
men  tlie  ready  and  effective  use  of  batteries  ;  to  preserve  on  record  the 
more  important  results  for  the  benefit  of  the  same,  or  future  command- 
ers, and  to  ascertain  the  efficiency  of  guns  and  carriagee, 

61.  The  commanders  of  field  artillery  will  alsu  keep  registers  of  their 
practice,  so  that  not  a  shot  or  shell  sliall  be  thrown  in  the  army,  for  in- 
struction, without  distinct  objects,  sue!)  as  range,  accuracy  of  aim,  num- 
ber of  ricochets,  time  of  bursting  in  the  case  of  shells,  &c. 

02.  The  issue  of  blank  cartridges  for  the  drill  and  instruction  of  the 
light  artillery  companies  will  be  authorized  in  sucli  quantities  as  may 
be  necessary,  on  requisitions  duly  approved  by  the  proper  department. 

63.  For  artillQ*:y  there  will  be  fcjir^e  annua!  periods  of  practice  in 
firing,  viz  :  in  April,  June  and  Octoljcr.  At  the  termination  of  eaUh 
period  the  commanding  officers  of  posts  will  transmit  to  the  Adjutant- 
General  full  reports  of  the  results. 

04.  To  determine  accuracy  in  firing  shot  and  shell,  butts  or  targets 
will  be  used.    If  no  natural  butt  presents  itself,  targets  will  be  erected. 

(\5.  As  practice  in  gunnery  is  a  heavy  expense,  commanders  of  com- 
panies, and  their  immediate  superiors,  are  charged  with  the  strict  exe- 
cution of  the  foregoing  details  ;  and  all  officers  on  inspection  duty  will 
report,  through  the  proper  channels,  upon  such  execution. 

ARTICLE   XII. 

RSGIMENTS. 

00.  On  the  organization  of  a  regiment,  companies  receive  a  permanent 
designation  by  letters  beginning  with  A,  and  the  ofl'.cers  are  assigned  to 
companies  ;  afterward,  company  officers  succeed  to  companies,  as  pro- 
moted to  fill  vacancies.  Companies  take  place  in  tiie  battalion  accord- 
ing to  the  rank  of  their  captains. 

•  67.  Captains  must  serve  with  their  companies.  Though  subject  to 
the  temporary  details  of  service,  as  for  courts  martial,  military  boards, 
Ac.,  they  shall  not  be  detailed  for  any  duty  which  may  separate  them 
for  any  considerable  time  from  their  companies.   . 

68.  The  commander  of  a  regiment  will  appoint  the  adjutant  from  the 
subalterns  of  the  regiment,  lie  will  nominate  the  regimental  quarter- 
master to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  appointment,  if  approved.*  lie  will 
appoint  tilt  non-commissioned  staff  of  the  regimect  ;  aiid,  upon  there- 
commendation  of  the  company  commander,  the  sergeants  and  corpdrals 
of  companies. 

G9.  In  cases  of  vacancy,  and  till  a  decision  can  be  had  from  regimeai- 
tal  headquarters,  the  company  oommauders  may  make  temporary  ap- 
pointments of  noncommissioned  officers. 


O  REGIMENTS. 

70.  Commanders  of  regiments  are  enjoiued  to  avail  themselves  of 
every  opportunity  of  instructing  both  officers  and  men  in  the  exercise 
and  management  of  field  artillery  ;  and  all  commanders  ought  to  en- 
courage useful  occupations,  and  manly  exercises,  and  diversions  among 
their  men,  and  to  repress  dissipation  and  immorality. 

71.  It  is  enjoined  upon  all  officers  to  be  cautious  in  reproving  non- 
commissioned officers  in  the  presence  or- hearing  of  privates,  lest  their 
authority  be  weakened  ;  and  non-commissioned  officers  are  nl5t  to  be  s.ent' 
to  the  guard-room  and  mixed  with  privates  during  confinement,  but  be 
considerea  as  placed  in  arrest,  except  in  aggravated  cases,  where  escape 
may  be  apprehended. 

72.  Non-commissioned  officers  may  be  reduced  to  the  ranks  by  the 
sentence  of  a  court-niartial,  or  by  order  of  tho  commander  of  the  regi- 
ment on  the  application  of  the  company  commander.  If  reduced  to  the 
ranks  by  garrison  courts,  at  posts  not  the  headquarters  of  the  regiment, 
the  company  commander  will  immediately  forward  a  transcript  of  the 
cfrder  to  the  regimental  commander. 

73.  Every  non-commissioned  officer  shall  be  furnished  with  a  certifi- 
cate or  warrant  of  his  rank,  signed  by  the  colonel  and  countersigned 
by  the  adjutant.  Blank  warrants  are  furnished  from  the  Adjutant- 
General's  office.  The  first,  or  ojrierly  sergeant,  will  i)e  selected  by  the 
fcptain  from  the  sergeants. 

74.  When  it  is  desired  to  have  bands  of  music  for  regiments,  there 
will  be  allowed  for  each,  sixteen  privates  to  act  as  musicians,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  chief  musicians  authorized  by  law,  provided,  the  total  num- 
ber of  privates  in  the  regiment,  including  the  band,  does  not  exceed  the 
legal  standard.  '  , 

75.  The  musicians  of  the  band  will,  for  the  time  being,  be  dropped 
from  the  company  muster-rolls,  but  they  will  be  instructed  as  soldiers, 
and  liable  to  serve  in  the  ranks  on  any  occasion.  They  will  be  mustered 
in  a  separate  squad  under  the  chief  musician,  withthe  noncommissioned 
Btaff,  and  be  included  in  the  aggregate  in  all  regimental  returns. 

76.  When  a  regiment  occupies  several  stations,  the  band  will  be  kept 
at  tlie  headquarters,  provided  troops  (one  or  more  companies)  be  serving 
^here.  The  field  music  belonging  to  companies  not  stationed  at  regi- 
mental headquarters,  will  not.be  separated  from  their  respective  com- 
panies. 

77.  No  man,  unless  he  be  a  carpenter,  joiner,  carriage  maker,  black- 
smith, saddler,  or  harness  maker,  will  be  mustered  as  an  "  artificer." 

78.  Every  article,  excepting  arms  and  accoutrements,  belonging  to 
the  regiment,  is  to  be  marked  with  the  number  and  name  of  the  regi- 
ment. • 

J.79.  Such  articles  as  belong  to  companies  are  to  be  marked  with  the

Inclosed  herewith  you  will  receive  the  report  of 


the  officer 


commanding  the  company  in  which  the  sergeant  has  been  serving,  to 
which  I  .add  the  following  remarks: 

,  Commanding Regiment. 

126.  When  a  company  is  detached  from  the  headquarters  of  the  regi- 
ment, the  reports  of  the  commanding  officer  in  this  matter,  will  pass  to 
the  regimental  headquarters  through  the  commanding  officer  of  the  post 
or  detachment,  and  be  accompanied  by  his  opinion  as  to  the  fitness  of 
the  candidate. 

127.  Ordnance  Sergeants  will  be  assigned  to  posts  when  appointed, 
and  are  not  to  be  transferred  to  other  stations  except  by  orders  from  the 
Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  office. 

128.  At  the  expiration  of  their  term  of  service,  ordnance  sergeants 
rnay  be  re-enlisted,  provided  they  shall  have  conducted  themselves  m  a 
becoming  manner,  and  performed  their  duties  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
commanding  officer.  If  the  commanding  officer,  however,  shall  not 
think  proper  to  re-enlist  the  ordnance  sergeant  of  his  post,  he  will  not 
discharge  him  at  the  expiration  of"  his  service,  unless  it  Shall  be  the 
wish  of  the  sergeant,  but  will  conununicate  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspec- 
tor General  his  reasons  for  declining  to  re-enlist  him,  to  be  submitted  to 
the  War  Department. 

120.  Tlie  officers  interested  must  bo  aware,  from  the  nature  of  the 
duties  assigned  to  ordnance  sergeants,  that  the  judicious  selection  of 
them  is  of  no  small  importance  to  the  interests  of  the  service  ;  and  that 
while  the  law  Contemplates,  in  the  appointment  of  these  non-commis- 
eioned  officers,  the  better  preservation  of  the  ordnance  and  oBdnance

stores  in  deposit  in  the  several  forta,  there  is  the  further  motive  of 
offering  a  reward  to  those  faithful  and  well-tried  sergeants  who  have 
long  served  their  country,  and  of  thus  giving  encouragement  to  the  sol- 
dier in  the  ranks  to  emulate  them  in  conduct,  and  thereby  secure  sub- 
stantial promotion.  Colonels  and  Captains  can  not,  therefore,  be  too 
particular  in  investigating  the  characters  of  the  candidates,  and  in  giv- 
ing their  testimony  as  to  their  merills. 

130.  The  appointment  and  removal  of  ordnance  sergeants,  stationed 
at  military  posts,  in  pursuance  of  the  above  provisions  of  law,  shall  be 
reported  by  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  to  the  Chief  of  the 
Ordnance  Department. 

131.  When  a  non-commissioned  officer  receives  the  appointment  of 
ordnance  sergeant,  he  shall  be  dropped  from  the  rolls  of  the  regiment 
or  company  in  which  he  may  be  serving  at  the  time. 

132.  The  duty  of  ordnance  sergeants  relates  to  the  care  of  the  ord- 
nance, arms,  ammunition,  and  other  military  stores  at  the  post  to  which 
they  may  be  attached,  under  the  direction  of  the  commanding  offia^i', 
and  according  to  the  regulations  of  the  Ordnance  Department. 

133.  If  a  post  be  evacuated,  the  ordnance  sergeant  shall" remain  on 
duty  at  the  station,  under  the  direction  of  the  Chief  of  the  Ordnance  De- 
partment, in  charge  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  and  of  such 
other  public  property  as  is  not  in  charge  of  some  officer  or  agent  of  other 
Departments  ;  for  which  ordnance  stores  and  other  property  he  will  ac- 
count to  the  chiefs  of  the  puoper  departments  until  otherwise  directed. 

134.  An  ordnance  sergeant  in  charge  of  ordnance  stores  at  a  post 
where  there  is  no  commissioned  officer,  shall  be  held  responsible  for  the 
safe  keeping  of  the  property,  and  he  shall  be  governed  by  the  regula- 
tions of  the  Ordnance  Department  in  making  issues  of  the  same,  and  in 
preparing  and  furnishing  the  requisite  returns.  If  the  means  at  his 
disposal  are  not  sufficient  for  the  preservation  of  the  property,  he  shall 
report  the  circumstances  to  the  Chief  of  the  Ordnance  Department. 

135.  Ordnance  sergeants  are  to  bo  considered  as  belonging  to  the  non- 
commissianed  staff  of  the  post,  under  the  orders  of  the  commanding 
officer.  They  are  to  wear  the  uniform,  with  the  distinctive  badges  pre- 
scribed for  the  non-commissioned  staff,  of  regiments  of  artillery ;  and 
they  are  to  appear  under  arms  with  the  troops  at  all  reviews  and  in- 
spections, monthly  and  weekly. 

136.  When  serving  at  any  post  which  may  be  the  headquarters  of  a 
regiment,  ordnance  sergeants  shall  be  reported  by  name  on  the  post  re- 
turns, and  mustered  with  the  non-commissioned  staff  of  the  regiment; 
and  at  all  other  posts  they  shall  be  mustered  and  reported  in  some  com- 
pany stationed  at  the  post  at  which  they  serve ;  be  paid  on  the  muster-

manding officer  of  the  company  for.  the  time  being.  Whenever  the 
company  may  be  ordered  from  the  post,  the  ordnance  sergeant  will  be 
transferred  to  the  rolls  of  any  remaining  company,  b;  the  order  of  the 
commanding  officer  of  the  post, 

137.  In  the  event  of  the  troops  being  all  withdrawn  from  a  post  at 
which  there  is  an  ordnance  sergeant,  he  shall  be  furnished  with  his  de- 
scriptive roll  and  account  of  clothing  and  pay,  signed  by  the  proper 
officer  last  in  command,  accompanied  by  the  remark?  necessary  for  his

to  be  placed  80  or  100  paces,  or  more,  according  to  the  length  of  the 
line,  in  front  of,  and  opposite  to, .where  the  centre  of  the  battalion  will 
re>;t,  where  the  reviewing  officer  is,  supposed  to  take  his  station  ;  and, 
although  he  may  choose  to  quit  that  position,  still  tlie  color  is  to  be  con- 
sidered as  the  point  to  which  all  the  movements  and  formations  are 
relative. 

337.  The  Adjutant  will  also  cause  points  to  be  marked,  at  suitable 
distances,  for  the  wheelings  of  the  divisions,  so  that  their  right  flanks, 
in  marching  past,  shall  only  be  about  four  paces  from  the  camp  c(dor, 
where  it  is  supposed  the  reviewing  officer  places  himself  to  receive  the 
salute. 

338.  The  battalion  being  formed  in  the  order  of  battle  at  shouldered 
arms,  the  Colunel  will  command,

the  rank  of  the  reviewing  officer  The  colors  only  salute  such  persons 
as,  from  their  rank,  and  by  regulation,  (  see  Article  XXIX.)  are  entitled 
to  that  honor.  If  the  Yeviewing  officer  be  junior  in  rank  to  the  com- 
mandant of  the  parade,  no  compliment  will  be  paid  to  him,  but  he  will 
be  received  with  arms  carried,  and  the  officers  will  not  Salute  as  the 
column  passes  in  review. 

341.  The  reviewing  officer  having  halted,  and  acknowledged  the  salute 
of  the  line  by  touching  or  raising  his  cap  or  hat,  the  Colonel  will  face 
about,  and  command,  ,  •

the  front. 

342.  The  reviewing  officer  will  the'n  go  toward  the  right,  the  whole 
remaining  perfectly  stead3%  without  paying  any  further  compliment, 
while  he  passes  along  the  front  of  the  battalion,  and  proceeds  round  the 
left  flank,  and  along  the  rear  of  the  file-closers,  tcf  the  right.  While 
the  reviewing  officer  is  going  round  the  battalion,  the  band  will  play, 
and  will  cease  when  he  has  returned  to  the  right  flank  of  the  troops. 

343.  When  the  reviewing  officer  turns  off,  to  place  himself  by  the 
camp  color  in  front,  the  Colonel  will  face  to  the  line  and  command, 

1.   Close  Order.     2.  March! 
At  the  first  command,  the  field  and  company  officers  will  face  to  the 
right-about,  and  at  the  second  command  all  persons,  except  the  Colonel, 
will  resume  their  places  in  the  order  of  battle ;  the  field  and  staff  offi- 
cers mount. 

344.  The  reviewing  officer  having  taken  his  position  *iear  the  camp

347.  The  music  will  begin  to  play  at  the  ccnnmand  to  march,  and 
after  passing  the  reviewing  oflicer,  wheel  to  the  left  out  of  the  column, 
and  take  a  position  opposite  and  facing  him,  and  will  continue  to  play 
until  the  i^ear  of  the  column  shall  have  passed  him,  when  it  will  cease, 
and  follow  in  the  rear  of  the  battalion,  unless  the  battalion  is  to  pass  in 
quick  time,  also,  in  which  case  it  will  keep  its  position. 

348.  The  officers  will  salute  the  reviewing  officer  when  they  arrive 
within  six  paces  of  him,  and  recover  their  swords  when  six  paces  past 
him.  All  officers,  in  saluting,  will  cast  their  eyes  toward  the  reviewing 
officer. 

349.  The  Colonel,  when  he  has  saluted  at  the  head  of  the  battalion, 
will  place  himself  near  the  reviewing  officei,  and  will  remain  there 
until  the  rear  has  passed,  when  he  will  rejoin  the  battalion. 

350.  The  colors  will  salute  tlie  reviewing  officer,  if  entitled  to  it, 
when  within  six  paces  of  him,  and  be  raised  when  they  have  passed  by 
him  an  equal  distance.  The  drums  will  beat  a  march,  or  ruffle,  accord- 
ing to  the  rank  of  the  reviewing  officer,  at  the  same  time  that  the  colors

1.    Column.     2.  IIaltI 
form  it  in  order  of  battle,  and  cause  the  ranks  to  be  opened,  as  in  para- 
graph 341.     The  review  will  terminate  by  the  whole  saluting  as  at  the 
beginning.        * 

352.  If,  however,  instructions  have  l)een  previously  given  to  march 
the  troops  past  in  quick  time,  also,  the  Colonel  will,  instead  of  changing 
the  guides,  halting  the  column  and  wheeling  it  into  line,  as  above  di 
rccted,  give  the  command, 

1.    Quick  time.     2.  March. 

In  passing  the  reviewing  officer  again,  no  salute  will  be  offered  by 
either  officer  or  men.  The  music  will  have  kept  its  position  opposite 
the  reviewing  officer,  and  at  the  last  command  will  commence  playing, 
and  as  the  column  approaches,  will  place  itself  in  front  of,  and  march 
off  with  the  column,  and  continue  to  play  until  the  battalion  is  halted 
on  its  original  ground  of  formation.  The  review  will  terminate  in  the 
same  manner  as  prescribed  above. 

353.  The  Colonel  will  aftor\vards  cause  the  troops  to  perform  such 
exercises  and  manoeuvres  as  the  reviewing  officer  may  direct. 

354.  When  two  or  more  battalions  are  to  be  reviewed,  they  will  be 
iurmed  in  parade  order,  with  the  proper  intervals,  and  will  also  perform 
the  same  movements  that  are  laid  down  for  a  single  battalion,  olis»ving 
tlie  additional  directions  tlmt  aro  given  for  such  movements  when  ap- 
plied to  the  line.  The  Brigadier-Cicnoral  and  his  staff,  on  foot,  will 
place  themselves  opposite  the  centre  of  the  brigade;  the  Brigadier- 


38  FORMS   OF   PARADE. 

General  two  paces  in  front  of  the  rank  of  Colonels,  his  aid  two  paces 
on  his  right,  and  one  retired;  and  the  other  brigade  staff  officers,  thoso 
having  the  rank  of  field  officers,  in  the  rank  of  Lieutenant  Colonels 
and  Majors  and  those  below  that  rank,  in  tiie  rank  of  company  officers. 

355,  In  passing  in  review,  a  Major-General  will  be  four  paces  in 
front  of  the  Colonel  gf  the  leading  battalion  of  his  division,  and  the 
Brigadier-General  will  be  on  the  right  of  the  Colonels  of  the  leading 
Tjattalions  of  their  brigades  ;  staif  officers  on  the  leftJ'of  their  Generals. 

35G.  When  the  line  exceeds  two  battalions,  the  reviewing  officer  may 
cause  tiieni  to  march  past  in  quick  time  only.  In  such  cases,  tho 
mounted  officers  only  will  salute. 

367.  A  number  of  companies  less  than  a  battalion  will  be  reviewed 
as  a  battalion,  and  a  single  company  as  if  it  were  with  the  battalion. 
In  the  latter  case,  the  compan'y  m.ay  pass  in  column  or  platoons. 

358.  If  several  brigades  are  to  be  reviewed  together,  or  in  one  line^ 
this  further  difference  will  be  observed  :  the  reviewing  personage,  joined 
by  the  General  of  the  division,  on  the  right  of  his  division,  will  proceed 
down  the  line,  parallel  to  its  front,  and  when  near  the  Brigadier-Gen- 
erals respectively,  will  be  saluted  by  their  brigades  in  succession.  The 
music  of  each,  after  the  prescribed  salute,  will  play  while  the  review- 
ing personage  is  in  front,  or  in  rear  of  it,  and  only  then. 

359.  In  marching  in  review,  with  several  battalions  in  common  time, 
the  music  of  each  succeeding  battalion  will  commence  to  play  when  the 
music  of  the  preceding  one  has  ceased,  in  order  to  follow  its  battalion. 
When  marching  in  quick  time,  the  music  will  begin  to  play  when  the 
rear  company  of  the  preceding  battalion  has  passed  the  i-cviewing  offi- 
cer. 

3G0.  The  reviewing  offic'er  or  personage  will  acknowledge  the  salute 
by  raising,  or  faking  off  his  cap  or  hat,  when  the  commander  of  the 
troops  salutes  him  ;  and  also  when  the  colors  pass.  The  remainder  of 
the  time  occupied  by  the  passage  of  the  troops  he  will  be  covered. 

3GI,  The  review  of  cavalry  and  artillery  will  be  conducted  on  similar 
principles,  and  according  to  the  systems  of  instruction  for  those  -arma 
of  the  servioe. 

III.    GUAKDMOUNTING. 

-362.  Camp  and  garrison  guards  will  be  relieved  every  twenty-four 
hours.  The  guards  at  outposts  will  ordinarily  be  relieved  in  the  same 
manner;  but  this  must  depend  oh  their  distance  from  camp,  or  other 
circumstances,  which  may  sometimes  require  their  continuing  on  duty 
several  days.  In  such  cases  they  must  be  previously  warned  to  provide 
themselves  accordingly. 

363.  At  the  first  call  for  guard-mounting,  the  men  warned  for  duty 
turn  out  in  their  company  parades  for  inspection  by  the  First  Ser- 
geants; and  at  the  second  call,  repair  to  the  regimental  or  garrison 
parade,  conducted  by  the  First  Sergeants.  Each  detachment,  as  it  ar- 
rives, will,  under  the  directioq  of  the  Adjutant,  take  post  on  the  left  of 
the  oie  that  preceded  it,  in  open  order,  arms  shouldered  and  bayonets 
fixed  ;  the  supernumeraries  five  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  men  of  their 
respective  companies ;  the  First  Sergeants  in  the  rear  of  them.  The 
Sergeant-Major  will  dress  the  ranks,  count  the  files,  verify  the  details,

one  rank,  four  paces  in  the  rear  of  tiie  Sergeants-r-all  facing  to  the 
front.     The  Adjutant  then  assigns  their  places  in  the  guard. 

365.  The  Adjutant  will  then  command, 

1.   Officer,  and  non-commissioned  officers,     2.  About — Face!     3.  Inspect 
your  gtiards — March! 

The  non-coinmissioned  officers  then  take  their  posts.  The  commander 
of  the  guard  then  commands,  41 

1.   Order — ArmsI     2.  Inspection — Arms! 

and  inspects  his  guard.  When  there  is  no  commissioned  officer  on  the 
guard,  the  Adjutant  will  inspect  it.  During  inspection,  the  band  will 
play. 

SGC).  The  inspection  ended,  the  officer  of  the  guard  takes  post  as 
though  the  guard  were  a  company  of  a  battalion,  in  open  order,  under 
review  ;  at  the  same  time,  also,  the  officers  of  the  day  will  take  post  in 
front  of  the  centre  of  the  guard  ;  the  old  officers  of  the  day  three  paces 
on  the  right  of  the  new  officer  of  the  day,  one  pace  retired. 

307.  The  Adjutant  will  now  command, 

1.  Parade — Rest!     Troop— Beat  off ! 
when  the  music,  beginning  on  the  rrglit.  will  beat  down  the  lino  in  front 
of  the  officer  of  the  guard  to  the  left,  and  back  to  its  place  on  tlie  right, 
where  it  will  cease  to  play. 

3G8.  The  Adjutant  then  commands, 

1.  Attention!     2.  (S/tojiZrfer— Arms  !  ,  3.   Close  order — March! 
At  the  word  "close  order,"  the  officer  will  face  about;  at  "  march,'

40  FORMS   OF   PARADE. 

371.  In  'bad  weather,  or  at  night,  or  after  fatiguing  marches,  the 
ceremony  of  turning  off  may  be  dispensed  with,  but  not  the  inspection.

guard,  who  will  take  command  of  the  old  sentinels,  when  the  whole  aro

man  ;  and  the  men  will  be  numbered  altern^Iy  in  the  front  ai^d  rear 
rank,  the  man  on  the  right  of  the  front  raiikT)eing  No.  1.  Should  an

partments of  the  staff,  in  what  relates  specially  to  his  branch  of  the, 
service.  Communications  to  the  Secretary  of  War  will  be  made  through 
the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  Generals  otiice  of  the  War  Department,

ARTICLE  XXXVI. 

TROOPS  IN  CAMPAIGN. 

OnCANIZATION    OF    AN    ARMY   IN    THE    FIELD. 

4^1.  The  formation  by  divisions  is  the  basis  of  the  organization  and 
administration  of  armies  in  the  field. 

462.  A  division  consists  usually  of  tvro  or  three  brigades,  either  of 
infantry  or  cavalry,  and  troops  of  other  corps  in  the  necessary  propor- 
tion. 

463.  A  brigade  is  formed  of  two  or  more  regiments.  The  first  num- 
ber takes  the  riiiht. 

464.  Mixed  brigades  are  sometimes  formed  of  infantry  and  light  cav- 
alry, especially  for  the  advance  jjuarda. 

465.  As  the  troops  arrive  at  the  rendezvous,  the  general  eommanding- 
in-chief  will  organize  them  into  brigades  and  divisions. 

466.  The  light  cavalry  is  employed  as  flankers  and  partizans,  and 
generally  for  all  service  out  of  the  line. 

467.  Heavy  cavalry  beh)n^';3  to  the  reserve,  and  is  covered,  when  ne- 
cessary, in  marches,  camps,  or  bivouacs,  by  light  troops,  or  infantry  of 
the  line. 

468.  The  arrangement  of  the  troops  on  parade  and  in  order  of  battle 
is — 1st,  the  light  infantry;  2d,  infantry  of  the  line;  3d,  light  cavalry; 
4th,  cavalry  of  the  line  ;  5th,  heavy  cavalry.  The  troops  of  the  artil- 
lery and  engineer* are  in  the  centre  of  the  brigades,  divisions,  or  corps 
to  whicli  they  are  attached  ;  marines  take  the  left  of  other  infant'ry  j 
■volunteers  and  militia  take  the  left  of  regular  troops  of  the  same  arm, 
and  among  themselves,  regiments  of  volunteers  or  militia  of  the  same 
arm  take  place  by  lot.  This  arrangement  is  varied  by  the  general  com- 
manding in-chief,  as  the  gircumstances  of  waf  render  expedient.  . 

469.  Brigades  in  divisions,  and  divisions  in  the  army,  are  numbered 
from  right  to  left ;  but  in  reports  of  military  operations,  brigades  and 
divisions  are  designated  by  the  name  of  the  jfcneralcommanding  them. 

470.  The  order  of  regiments  in  brigades  and  of  brigades  in  divisions 
may  be  changed  by  the  commander  of  the  division  for  important  rea- 
sons, such  as  tlie  weakness  of  some  corps,  or  to  relieve  one  fiom  march- 
ing too  long  at  the  rear  of  the  column.  Such  changes  must  be  reported 
to  the  general  commanding-in  chief. 

471.  The  general  commandingiti-chief  assigns  the  generals  of  divi- 
sions and  of  brigades  to  their  respective  commands,  when  the  assign-* 
ment  is  not  made  by  the  Department  of  War. 

472.  The  general  of  brigade  inspects  his  troops  in  detail,  by  compa- 
nies, when  ho  takes  the  command  and  at  the  opening  of  the  campaign, 


CONTRinUTIONS — ORDERLIES.  ol 

and  as  often  ns  may  bo  necessary  to  ascertain  exactly  tliolr  condition. 
The  general  of  division  makes  similar  inspections  wlien  he  thinks  pro- 
per. At  these  inspections  the  generals  examine  the  arms,  clothing, 
equipments,  harness,  horses,  &c.  ;  direct  the  necessary  repairs,  and  de- 
signate the  men  and  h<irses  to  remain  in  depot,  or  marVh  with  the  train. 

473.  Reports  of  insjiections  are  made  by  the  general  of  l)rigade  to 
the  genera!  of  division,  and  by  the  general  of  divisicm  to  the  general 
commanding  iii-ohief. 

474.  During  marches  and  all  active  operations,  generals  of  brigades 
keep  themselves  exactly  informeil,  by  reports  of  corps  and  by  their  in- 
spections, of  tlie  actual  strengtli  of  the  regiments,  so  as  always,  and 
especially  after  an  engagement,  to  make  accurate  returns  to  the  general 
of  division. 

47').  Staff  officers  and  officers  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  according 
to  the  nature  of  the  service,  are  assigned  to  the  head-quarters  of  ar- 
mies and  divisions,  and  detached  brigades,  by  order  of  the  general  com- 
manding-inchief,  when  the  distribution  cf  these  officers  has  not  beea 
regulated  by  the  War  Department.  The  necessary  staff  will  be  assigil- 
ed  to  commanders  of  brigades. 

4~6.  When  an  Engineer  or  other  officer  is  >',harged  with  directing  an 
expeditiiiu  or  making  a  reconnoisance,  without  having  command  of  tho 
escort,  tho  commander  of  the  escort  shall  consult  him  ou  all  the  arrange- 
ments necessary  to  secure  the  success  of  tlie  operation. 

477.  Staff  officers,  and  commanders  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  re- 
port to  their  immediate  commanders  tlie  state  of  tiie  supplies  aid. what- 
ever concerns  the  service  under  their  direction,  and  receive  their  orders, 
and  communicate  to  them  those  they  receive  from  their  superiors  in 
their  own  corpp. 

478.  The  senior  officer  of  engineers,  of  artillery,  and  the  dopartmentvS 
of  the  general  staff  serving  at  tlie  chief  head-quarters  in  the  field,  will 
transmit  to  tiie  bureau  of  liis  department  at  Richmond,  at  the  dose  of 
the  campaign,  and  such  other  times  as  the  commander  in  the  field  may 
approve,  a  full  report  of  the  operations  of^his  department,  and  w4iat- 
ever  information  to  improve  its  service  he  may  be  able  to  furnish. 

The  report  of  the  officer  of  engineers  will  embrace  plans  of  military 
works  executed  during  tho  campaign,  and,  in  <;ase  of  siege,  a  journal  of 
the  attack  or  defence. 

»  COXTUIBUTfONS. 

470.  When  the  wants  of  the  army  absolutely  require  it,  and  in  other 
'cases,  utider  special  invtruitions  from  the  Witr"  Department,  the  general 
commanding  the  army  m.iy  levy  contril)Utiorifi  in  mcmey  o,-  kind  on  the 
er.emy's  country  occupied  by  the  trnops.  No  other  commander  can  levy 
puc'i  contributions  without  written  authority  from  the  general  command- 
ing io-chief. 

ORDERLIES. 

4i>50.  At  the  opening  of  n  campaign,  the  commander  of  ah  army  de- 
terTuines  and  announces  in  orders  the  number  of  orderlies,  mounted  or 
foot,  for  the  (Generals,  and  the  corps  or  regiments  by  which  they  are  to 
be  :<upplie(l,  and  the  periods  at  which  they  shall  be  relieved. 

4H1.  la  marches,  the   mounted  orderlies   follow  the  Generals,  and 


02  DEPOTS — CAMPS. 

perform  tlie  duty  of  escorts,  or  march  -with  orderlies  on  foot  at  the  hendi 
of  the  divisJon  or  brigade. 

482.  The  staff  officer  who  di'^trihntea  the  orderlies  to  their  posts  sends 
with  ti)ern  a  note  of  the  time  and  place  of  departure;  those  relieved  re- 
ceive a  like  note  from  the  staff  officer  at  head  quarters. 

483.  Mounted  soldiers  are  to  be  employed  to  carry  dispatches  only  in 
special  and  urgent  cases, 

484.  Tiie  precise  time  when  the  dispatch  is  sent  off,  knd  the  rate  at 
■which  it  is  to  be  conveyed,  are  to  be  written  clearly  on  tha  covers  of  all 
letters  transmitted  by  a  mounted  orderly,  rind  the  necessary  instruc- 
tions to  him,  and  the  rate  of  travel  going  and  returning,  are  to  be  dis- 
tinctly explained  to  him. 


485.  The  grand  depots  of  an  army  are  established  where  tRe  military 
operations  would  not  expose  them  to  be  broken  up.  Smaller  depots  are 
(Trganized  for  the  divisions  and  the  several  arms.  They  are  commanded 
by  officers  temporarily  disabled  fur  field  service,  or  by  other  officers 
when  necessary,  and  comprise,  as  much  as  possible,  the  hospitals  and 
depots  for  convalescents.  When  conveniently  placed,  they  serve  as 
points  for  the  halting  and  assembling  of  detachments.  They  receive 
the  disaliled  fvom  the  corps  on'the  march  ;  and  the  officers  in  command 
of  the  depots  send  with  the  detachments  to  the  army  those  at  the  depots 
who  have  become  fit  for  service. 


48d.  Camp  is  the  place  where  troops  are  established  in  tents,  in  huts, 
or  in  bivouac;  Cantonments  ai'e  the  inhabited  places  which  troops 
occupy  for  shelter  when  not  put  in  barracks.  The  cauiping-party  is  a 
detachment  detailed  to  prepare  a  camp. 

487.  Reconnoissances  sliould  precede  the  establishment  of  the  camp. 
For  a  camp  of  troops  on  the  march,  it  is  only  necessary  to  look  to  the 
health  and  comfort  of  the  troops,  the  facility  of  the  communications,  the 
convenience  of  wood  and  water,  and  the  resources  in  provisions  and 
forage.  The  ground  for  an  intrenched  camp,  or  a  camp  to  cover  a 
country,  or  one  designed  to  decei\'«  the  enemy  as  to  the  strength  of  the 
army,  must  be  sclec'ted,  and  the  camp  arranged  for  the  object  in  view. 

488.  The  camping-party  of  a  regiment  consists  of  the  regimental 
Quartermaster  and  Quartermaster-Sergeant,  and  a  Corporal  ajui  two 
men  per  company.  Tiie  General  decides  whether  the  regiments  camp 
8eparately  or  together,  and  whether  the  police  gua;d  shall  accompany 
the  camping-party,  or  a  larger  escort  shall  be  sent. 

489.  Neither  baggage  nor  led  horses  are  permitted  to  move  with  the 
camping-party. 

490.  When  the  Genera,l  can  send  in  advance  to  prepare  the  camp,  he 
gives  his  instructions  to  ti>o  chief  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department, 
who  calls  on  the  regiments  for  their  camping-parties,  and  is  acconrjia- 
nied,  if  necessary,  by  an  Engineei-,  to  propose  the  defences  and  com- 
munications. 

491.  The  ■watering-places  are  examined,  and  gignale  placed  at  those

tVmt  are  dangerous.  Any  work  required  ta  make  them  of  easier  access 
is  done  by  the  police  guard  or  Quartcrmnster's  men.  Sentinels,  to  be 
relieved  by  the  guards  (^f  tlie  regiment  when  they  come  up,  are  placed 
by  the  camping-party  over  tiie  water  if  it  is  scarce,  and  over  the  houses 
and  stores  of  provisions  and  forage  in  the  vicinity. 

492.  If  the  camping-party  does  not  precede  the  regiment,  the  Quar- 
termaster attends  to  these  things  as  (soon  as  the  regiment  reaches  the 
camp. 

493.  On  reaching  tiie  ground,  the  infantry  form  on  the  color  front ; 
the  cavah-y  in  rear  of  its  camp. 

494.  Tiie  Generals  establisli  the  troops  in  camp  as  rapidly  as  possible, 
particularly  after  long,  fatiguing  marches.

orderlies;  the  fatigue  parties  to  be  sent  fur  supplies;  the  work  to  be 
done,  and  the  strength  of  the  working  parties;  the  time  and  place  for 
issues;  the  hour  of  marching,  (fee,  are  then  announced  by  the  Briga- 
dier-Generals to  the  Colonels,  and  by  them  to  tho  field  officers — tho 
Adjutant  and  Caphiins  formed  in  front  of  the  regiment,  the  First  Ser- 
geants taking  post  nehind  their  Captains.  The  Adjutaut  then  make;* 
the  details,  and  the  First  Sergeanta^warn  the  men.  Tiie  regimental 
ofhcer  of  the  day  forms  the  picket,  and  sends  the  guards  to  their  posts, 
Tho  colors  are  then  planted  in  the  centre  of  the  color  linc.Tind  the  urms 
are  stacked  on  the  line  ;  the  fatigue  parties  to  procure  supplies,  and  the 
working  parties  form  in  rear  of  the  arms  ;  the  men  not  on  detail  pitch 
the  tents. 

496.  It  the  camp  is  near  the  enemy,  tho  picket  remains  under  arms 
until  the  return  of  the  fatigoo  parties,  and,  if  nccesssarj',  is  reinforced 
by  details  from  each  cjujpany. 

497.  In  the  cavalry,  each  troop  moves  a  little  in  rear  of  the  point  at 
which  its  horses  are  to  be  secured,  and  forms  in  one  rank  ;  the  men  then 
dismount ;  a  detail  is. made  to  hold  tjie  horses  ;  the  rest  stack  their  arms 
and  fix  the  piiket  rope;  after  the  horses  arc  attended  to,  the  tents  Are 
pitched,  and  each  horseman  places  his  carbine  at  the  side  from  the 
weather,  and  hangs  iiis  sabre  and  bridle  on  it. 

498.  The  standard  is  then  carried  to  the  tent  of  the^Joloncl. 

499.  The  terms  fri  nt,  flank,  right,  left,  file,  and  rank,  have  the  same 
meaning  when  applied  to  camps  as  to  the  order  of  battle. 

5U0.  The  front  of  the  camp  is  usually  equal  to  the  front  of  the  troops. 
The  tents  are  arranged  in  ranks  and  fifes.  The  number  of  ranks  varies 
with  the  strengtli  of  tiie  companies  and  the  size  of  the  tents. 

aOl.  No  otticer  win  be  all.)wed  to  occupy  »  hou-e,  although  vacant 
and  on  the  ground  of  ids  camp,  except  by  permission  of  the  commander

CAMP  OF    INFANTRr. 

503.  Each  company  has  its  tents  in  two  files,  facing  on  a  street  per- 
pendicular to  the  C(dor  line.  The  width  of  the  Ftrcct  depends  on  the 
front  of  the  camp,  but  should  not  be  less  than  five  paces.  The  interval 
between  the  ranks  of  tents  is  two  paces;  between  the  files  of  tents  of 
adjacent  companies,  two  paces;  bctwceu  regiments,  twenty-two  paces. 


54  CAMP   OF   CAVALRY. 

504.  The  color  line  is  ten  paces  in  front  of  the  front  rsink  of  tents. 
The  kitchens  iive  twenty  paces  behind  the  rear  rank  of  cimipany  tents; 
the  non-comniis8ioned  staff  and  sutler,  twenty  paces  in  rear  of  the

sioned  staff,  the  tents  facing  to  the  front,  the  stacks  of  arms  on  the  left. 

508."  The  advanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  about  200  paces  in 
front  of  the  color  line,  and  opposite  the  centre  of  the  regiment,  or  on  the 
best  ground  ;  the  prisoners'  tent  are  about  four  paces  in  rear.  In  a  regi- 
ment of  the  second  line,  the  advai\ced  p.>st  of  the  police  guard  is  200 
paces  ill  rear  of  the  line  of  its  field  and  staff.

twenty-five  paces  in  rear  of  the  tents  of  tlie  field  and  staff;  the  wagons 
are  parked  on  the  sam.e  line,  and^he  men  of  the  train  camped  near 
them. 

510.  The  sinks  of  the  men  are  150  paces  in  front  of  the  color  line — 
those  of  the  ofBcers  100  paces  in  rear  of  tho  train.  Both  are  concealed 
by  bushes._  When  convenient,  tiie  sinks  of  the  men  may  be  placed  in 
the  rear  or  on  tlie  flank.  A  portion  of  the  earth  dug  out  for  sinks  to 
be  tlirown  back  occasionally. 

511.  The  front  of  the  camp  of  a  regiment  of  1000  men  in  two  ranks 
•will  be  40U  paces,  or  one-fifih  le?s  pi.c<^s  than  the  number  of  files,  if  the 
camp  is  to  have  the  same  front  as  the  troops  in  order  of  battle.  But 
the  front  may  be  reduced  to  190  paces  by  narrowing  the  company 
streets  to  five  paces  ;  and  if  it  be  desirable  to  reduce  the  front  still  more, 
the'tents  of  companies  may  be  pitched  in  single  file— those  of  a  divis- 
ion facing  on  the  same  street. 

CAMP   OF   CAVALRY. 

512.  In  the  cavalry,  each  company  has  one  file  of  tents — the  tents

the  ground,  from  three  tc^six  paces  from  the  tentffof  the  troops. 

514.  The  interval  between  the  file  of  tents  should  be  such  that,  the 
regiment  being  broken  into  column  of  companies,  each  company  should 
be  on  the  extension  uf  the  lino'on  which  the  horses  are  to  be  picketed. 

515.  The  streets  separating  the  squadrons  are  wider  than  those 
between  the  companies  by  the  interval  separating  squadrons  in  line ; 
these  in-tervals  are  Jjept  free  from  any  obstruction  throughout  the  camp.

CAMP    OF    ARTILLEKV. 

525.  The  artillery  is  encamped  near  the  troops  to  which  it  is  attached, 
HO  as  to  be  protected  from  attack,  and  to  contribute  to  the  defence  of 
the  camp.  Sentinel*  for  the  park  are  furnished  by  the  artillery,  and, 
when  necessarj',  by  the  other  troops.

The  harness  is  in  the  tents  of  the  men. 

BIVOUACS. 

528.  A  regiment  of  cavalry  being  in  order  of  battle,  in  rear  of  the 
ground  to  be  occupied,  the  Colonel  breaks  it  by  platoons  to  the  right. 
The  hor-cs  (^f  Qx.:h  platoon  aro  placed  in  a  single  row,  and  fastened  as 
prescribed  for  camps  ;  near  the  enemy,  they  remain  saddled  all  night, 
with  slackened  girths.  The  arms  aro  at  first,  stacked  in  rear  of  each 
row  of  horses;  the  sabres,  with  the  bridles  hung  on  them  aro  placed 
against  the  stacks. 


56  CANTONMENTS. 

529.  The  forage  is  placed  on  the  right  of  each  row  of  horses.  Two 
stable-guards  for  each  platoon  watch  the  horses. 

530.  A  fire  fur  each  platoon  is  made  near  the  color  line,  20  paces  to 
tlie  left  of  the  row  of  horses.  A  shelter  is  made  for  the  men  around 
the  file,  if  possible,  and  each  man  then  stands  his  arms  and  bridle 
against  the  shelter. 

531.  The  fires  and  shelter  for  the  officers  are  placed  in  rear  of  the 
line  of  those  for  the  men. 

532.  The  intervals  between  the  squadrons  must  be  without  obstruc- 
tion thr-oufhout  the  whole  depth  of  the  bivouac. 

533.  The  interval  between  the  shelters  should  be  such  that  the  pla- 
toons can  tate  up  ,i  line  of  battle  freely  to  the  front  or  rear. 

534.  The  distance  from  the  enemy  decides  the  manner  in  which  the 
horses  are  to  be  fed  and  led  to  water.  °  When  it  is  permitted  to  unsad- 
dle, the  saddles  are  placed  in  the  rear  of  the  horses. 

535.  In  infantry,  the  fires  are  made  in  rear  of  the  color  line,  on  the 
ground  that  would  be  occupied  by  the  tents  in  camp.  The  companies 
are  placed  around  them,  and,  if  possible,  construct  shelters.  When 
liable  to  surprise,  the  infantry  should  stand  to  arms  a*t  daybreak,  and 
the  cavalry  mount  until  the  return  of  the  reconnoitering  parties.  If 
the  arms  are  to  be  taken  apart  to  clean,  it  must  be  done  by  detach- 
ments, successively. 

C.\NT0NMENTS. 

536.  The  cavalry  should  be  placed  under  shelter  whenever  the  dis- 
tance from  the  enemy,  and  from  the  ground  where  the  troops  are  to 
form  fir  battle,  permit  it.  Taverns  and  farm-houses,  with  large  stables 
and  free  access,  are  selected  for  quartering  them. 

537.  The  Colonel  indicates  the  pface  of  assembling  in  case  of  alarm. 
It  should  generally  be  outside  the  cantonment ;  the  egress  from  it  should 
be  free,  the  retreat  upon  the  other  positions  secure,  and  roads  leading 
to  it  on  the  side  of  the  enemy  obstructed. 

538.  "The  necessary  orders  being  given,  as  in  establishing  a  camp,  the 
picket  .and  grand  guards  are  posted.  A  sentinel  may  be  placed  on  a 
steeple  or  high  house,  and  then  the  troops  are  marched  to  the  quarters. 
The  men  sleep  in  the  stables,  if  it  is  thought  necessary. 

539.  The  above  applies  in  the  main  to  infantry.  Near  the  enemy, 
companies  or  platoons  should  be  collected,  as  much  as  possible,  in  the 
same  houses.  If  companies  must  be  separated,  they  should  be  divided 
by  platoons  or  squads.     AU  take  arms  at  daybreak. 

540.  "When  cavalry  and  infantry  canton  together,  the  latter  furnish 
the  guards  by  night,  and  the  former  by  day. 

541.  Troops  cantoned  in  presence  of  the  enemy,  should  be  covered 
by  advanced  guards  a'nd  natural  or  artificial  obstacles.  Cantonments 
taken  during  a  cessation  of  hostilities,  should  be  established  in  rear  of 
a  line  of  defence,  and  in  front  of  the  point  on  which  the  troops  would 
concentrate  to  receive  an  attack.  The  General  commanding-in-chief 
assigns  the  limits  of  their  cantonments  to  the  divisions,  the  comman- 
ders of  divisions  to  brigades,  and  the  commanders  of  brigades  post 
their  regiments.  The  position  for  each  corps  in  case  of  attack  is  cure- 
fully  pointed  out  by  the  Generals. 


HEADQUARTERS — ISSUES.  57 

HEADQUARTERS. 

542.  Generals  take  post  at  the  centre  of  tlieir  ocmmands,  on  the  main 
channels  to  comniunic  ition.  If  troops  bivouac  in  presence  of  the  enemy, 
the  Generals  bivouac  with  them. 

MILITARV    EXERCISE?. 

543.  When  troops  remain  in  camp  or  cantonment  many  days,  the 
Cohmels  require  them  to  be  exercised  in  the  sc!>ool  of  the  battalion  and 
squadron.  Ref!;iments  and  brij^ades  encamped  by  division  are  not 
united  for  drills  without  the  permission  of  the  General  of  division. 
The  troops  must  not  be  exercised  at  the  firings  witlnuit  the  authority  of 
the  General  commanding-in-thief.  Tiie  practice  of  the  drums  must 
never  begin  with  the  "general,"  or  the  "  march  of  the  regiment;" 
nor  the  trumpets  with  the  sound  "  to  horse.'  The  hour  for  practice  is 
always  announced. 

ORDERS. 

"544.  In  the  field,  verbal  orders  and  important  sealed  orders  are  car- 
ried by  officers,  and,  if  possible,  by  staff  officers.  When  orders  are 
carried  by  orderlies,  the  place  and  time  of  departure  will  be  marked  ou 
them,  and  place  and  time  of  delivery  on  the  receipt. 

DISPATCHES. 

545.  Dispatches,  particularly  for  distant  corps,  should  be  entrusted 
only  to  officers  to  whom  their  conteiits  can  be  confided.  In  a  country 
occupied  by  the  eneniy,  the  bearer  of  dispatches  should  be  accompanied 
by  at  least  two  of  the  best  mounted  men  ;  should  avoid  towns  and  vil- 
lages, and  the  main  roads  ;  rest  as  little  as  possible,  and  only  at  out-of- 
the-way  places.  Where  there  is  danger,  he  should  send  one  of  the  men 
in- advance,  and  be  always  ready  to  destroy  his  dispatches.  lie  should 
be  adroit  in  answering  questions  about  the  army,  and  not  be  intimi- 
dated by  threats. 

WATCnWORDS. 

546.  The^arole  and  countersign  are  issued  daily  from  the  principal 
headquarters  of  the  command.  The  Ciiuntersign  is  given  to  the  senti- 
nels and  non-commissioned  officers  of  the  guards  ;  the  parole  to  the 
commissioned  officers  of  guards.  The  pai'ole  is  usually  the  name  of  a 
General  ;  the  countersign  of  a  battle. 

547.  When  the  parole  and  countersign  cannot  be  communicated  daily 
to  a  post  or  detachment  which  ought  to  use  the  same  as  the  main  body, 
a  series  of  words  may  be  sent  for  some  days  in  advance. 

548.  If  the  countersign  is  lost,  or  one  v{  the  guard  deserts  with  it, 
the  commander  on  the  spot  will  substituto  another,  and  report  the  case 
at  once  to  the  proper  superior,  that  immediate  notice  may  be  giveu  to 
headquarters. 


549.  At  what  time  and  for  wliat  period  issues  are  made,  must  depend 
on  circumstances^  and  bo  rcgiihited  in  orders.  When  an  army  is  not 
moving,  rations  are  generally  issued  for  four  days  at  a  time.  Issues  to 
the  companies  of  a  regiment,  and  the  fatigues  to  receive  them,  are  bu- 


58  ROSTEU. 

perintended  by  an  oflBcer  detailed  from  the  regiment.  Issues  are  made 
from  one  end  of  the  line  to  the  other,  beginning  on  the  right  and  left 
alternately.  An  issiie  comnieneed  on  one  regiment  will  not  be  inter- 
rupted for  another  entitled  to  precedence  if  it  had  been  ia  place. 

THE    ROSTER,    OR    DETAILS    FOR    SERVICE. 

550.  The  duties  performed  by  detail  are  of  three  classes.  The  first 
class  comprises,  Ist,  grand  guards  and  outposts  ;  2d,  interior  guards,  as 
of  magazine,  hospital,  &c. ;  3d,  orderlies  ;  4th,  police  guards. 

The  second  class  comprises,  1st,  detachments  to  protect  laborers  on 
military  works,  as  field-works,  communications,  &c.  ;  2d,  working  par-, 
ties  on  such  works  ;  3d,  detachments  to  protect  fatigues. 

The  thu'cl  class  are  all  fatigues,  without  arms,  in  or  out  of  camp. 

In  the  cavalry,  stable-guards  form  a  separate  i-oster,  and  count  before 
fatigue. 

5*^1.  The  rosters  are  distinct  for  each  class.  Officers  are  named  on 
them  in  the  order  of  rank.  The  details  are  tak*en  in  succession  in  the 
order  of  the  roster,  beginning  at  the  head. 

552.  Lieutenants  form  one  roster,  and  First  and  Second  Lieutenants 
are  entered  on  it  alternately.  The  senior  First  Lieutenant  is  the  first 
on  the  roster;  the  senior  Second  Lieutenant  is  the  second,  &c.  The 
Captains  form  one  roster,  and  are  exempt  from  fatigues,  except  to  su- 
perintend issues.  A  Captain  commanding  a  battalion  temporarily  is 
exempt  from  detail,  and  duty  falling  to  him  passes.  Lieutenant- 
Colonels  and  Majors  are  on  one  roster.  They  may  be  detailed  for  duties 
of  the  first  and  second  classes,  when  the  importance  of  the  guards  and 
detachments  i-equires  it.  Their  roster  is  kept  at  division  and  brigade 
headquarters.  In  the  company,  Sergeants,  Corporals  and  privates  form 
distinct  rosters. 

553.  Officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  take  duties  of 
the  first  class  in  the  order  stated,  viz:  the  first  for  the  detail,  takes  the 
grand  guards  ;  the  next,  the  interior  guards  ;  the  last,  the  police  guaras  ; 
and  the  same  rule  in  regard  to  the  details  and  duties  of  the  second 
class.  In  the  details  for  the  third  class,  the  senior  officer  takes  the 
largest  party.     The  party  first  for  detail  takes  the  service<^ut  of  camp. 

554.  When  the  officer  whose  tour  it  is,  is  not  able  to  take  it,  or  is  not 
present  at  the  hour  of  marching,  the  next  after  him  takes  it.  When  a 
guard  has  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or  an  interior  guard  has  reached 
its  post,  the  officer  whose  tour  it  was  cannot  then  take  it.  He  takes  the 
tour  of  the  ofQcer  who  has  taken  his.  When  an  officer  is  prevented  by 
sickness  t'nim  taking  his  tour,  it  passes.  These  rules  apply  equally  to 
non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers. 

555.  Duties  of  the  first  and  second  classes  are  credited  on  the  roster 
■when  the  guards  or  detachments  have  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or 
an  interiiir  guard  has  reach-Mi  its  post;  fatigue  duties  when  the  parties 
have  passed  the  chain  or  begun  the  duties  in  camp. 

556.  Every  officer,  non-commissioned  officer,  or  soldier  on  duty  of  the 
first  class,  or  who  is  of  the  next  detail  for  such  duty,  takes,  when  re- 
lieved, the  duty  of  the  second  or  third  class  that  has  fallen  to  him 
during  thai  time,  unless  he  has  marched  for  detachment  of  more  than 
twenty-four  hours. 

557.  Soldiers  march  with  knapsacks  on  all  duties  of  the  first  class  ; 


POLICB   GUARD.  59 

and  with  amis  and  equipments  complete  on  all  working  parties  out  of 
the  camp,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  In  the  cavalry,  horses  are  packed 
for  all  mounted  service. 

558.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men,  and  those  whose  horses  are 
not  in  order,  are  preferred  for  the  detail  for  dismonrrted  service.  Those 
who  are  mounted  are  never  employed  on  those  services,  if  the  number 
of  the  other  class  are  sufficient, 

559.  Every  non-commissiond  officer  and  soldier  in  the  cavalry  de- 
tailed for  dismounted  service  must,  before  he  marches,  take  to  the  First 
Sergeant  of  the  troop,  or  Sergeant  of  his  squad,  his  horse  equipments 
and  his  valise  ready  packed.  In  case  of  alarm,  the  First  Sergeant  sees 
that  the  hurses  of  these  men  are  equipped  and  led  Jo  the  rendezvous. 

560.  These  rules  in  regard  to  the  roster  apply  also  to  service  in  gar- 
rison. 

POLICE    GUARD. 

5G1.  In  each  regiment  a  police  guard  is  detailed  every  day,  consist- 
ing of  two  Sergeants,  three  Corporals,  two  drummers,  and  men  enough 
to  furnish  the  required  sentinels  and  patrols.  The  men  are  taken  from 
all  tlie  companies,  fuom  each  in  proportion  to  its.  strength.  'J'he  guard 
is  commanded  by  a  Lieutenant,  under  the  supervision  of  a  Captain,  as 
regimental  officer  of  the  da,y.  It  furnishes  ten  sentinels  at  tlie  camp; 
one' over  the  arms  of  the  guard;  one  at  the  Colonel's  tent ;  three  on 
the  color  front — orfe  of  them  over  the  colors;  thi'ee,  fifty  paces  in  rear 
of  the  field  officers'  tents;  and  one  on  each  flank,  between  it  and  the 
nest  regiment.  If  it  is  a  flank  regiment,  one  more  sentinel  is  posted 
on  the  outer  flank.  .  * 

502.  An  advanced  post  is  detached  from  the  police  guard,  composed 
of  a. Sergeant,  a  Corporal,  a  drummer,  and  nine  men  to  furnish  senti- 
nels and  the  guard  over  the  prisoners.  The  men  are  first  of  the  guard 
roster  from,*acIi  company.  The  m«n  of  the  advanced  post  must  not 
leav*  it  under  any  pretext.  Their  meals  are  sent  to  the  post.  The  ad- 
vanced post  furnishes  three  sentinels;  two  a  few  paces  in  front  of  the 
post,  opposite  the  riglit  and  left  wing  of  the  regiment,  posted ^o  as  to 
see  as  far  as  possible  to  the  front,  and  one  over  tlie  arms. 

563.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men*  are  employed  in  preference  on 
the  police  guard.  The  mounted  men  on  guard  are  sent  in  succession, 
apart  at  a  ti.me,  to  groom  their  horses.  The  advanced  post  is  always 
formed  of  mounted  men. 

564.  In  each  company,  a  Corjioral  has  charge  of  the  stable-guard. 
His  tour  begins  at  retreat,  and  ends  at  morning  stable-call.  The  stable- 
guard  is  large  enough  to  relieve  tiie  men  on  post  every  two  hours.  They 
sleep  in  tl  eir  tents,  and  are  called  by  the  Corporal  when  wanted.  At 
retreat  he  closes  the  streets  of  the  camp  with  cords,  or  uses  other  pre- 
cautions to  prevent  the  escape  of  loose  horses. 

565.  The  officer  of  the  day  is  charged  with  the  order  and  cleanliness 
of  the  camp;  a  fatigue  ifi  furnished  to  him  when  the  number  of  pris- 
oners is  insufficient  to  clean  the  camp.  Ho  has  the  calls  beaten  by  the 
drummer  of  the  guard.  •. 

566.  The  police  guard  and  the  advanced  post  pay  (he  same  honors  as 
other  guards.     They  take  arms  when  an  armed  body  approaches. 

567.  The  scntiriel  over  the  colors  has  orders  not  to  permit  them  to 


l50  POLICE    GUARD. 

be  moved,  except  in  presence  of  an  escort ;  to  let  no  one  touch  them 
but  the  color-bearer,  or  the  Sergeant  of  the  police  guard  when  he  is 
accompanied  by  t\Y0  armed  men. 

568.  The  sentinels  on  the  color  front  permit  no  soldier  to  take  arms 
from  the  stacks,  except  by  order  of  some  officer,  or  a  non-commissioned 
oflBcer  of  the  gnard.  The  sentinel  at  the  Colonel's  tent  has  orders  to 
■warn  him,  day  or  nignt,  of  any  unusual  movement  in  orabout  the  camp. 

569.  The  sentinels  on  the  front,  flanks,  and  rear,  see  that  no  soldier 
leaves  camp  with  horse  or  arms,  unless  .conducted 'by  a  non-commis- 
sioned officer.  They  prevent  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers 
from  passing  out  at  night,  except  to  go  to  the  sinks,  and  mark  if  they  re- 
turn. They  arrest,  at  any  time,  suspicious  persons  prowling  about  the 
camp ;  and  at  nighf,  every  one  who  attempts  to  enter,  even  the  soldiers 
of  other  corps.  Arrested  persons  are  sent  to  the  officer  of  the  guard, 
who  sends  them,  if  necessary,  lo  the  officer  of  the  day. 

.570.  The  sentinels  on  the  front  of  the  advanced  post  have  orders  to 
permit  neither  non-commissioned  officers  or  soldiers  to  pass  the  line, 
without  reporting  at  the  advanced  post;  to  warn  the  advanced  post  of 
the  approach  of  any  armed  body,  and  to  "arrest  all  suspicious  persons. 
The  Sergeant  sends  persons  so  arrested  to  the  officer  of  the  guard,  and 
warns  him  of  the  approach  of  any  armed  body. 

571.  Tlie  sentinel  over  the  arms  at  the  advanced  post  guards  the 
prisoners  and  keeps  sight  of  them,  and  suffers  no  one  to  converse  with 
them  witliout  pennission.  They  are  only  permitted  to  go  to  the  sinks 
one  at  a  time,  and  under  a  sentinel. 

572.  If  any  one  is  to  bo  passed  out  of  camp  at  night,  the  officer  of  the 
g«ard  sends  him  under  escort  to  the  advanced  post,  and  the  Sergeant  of 
the  post  has  him  passed  over  the  chain.  , 

573.  At  retreat,  the  ofiicer  of  the  guard  has  the  roll  of  his  guard 
called,  and  inspect  arms,  to  see  that  they  are  loaded  and  in  order;  and 
visits  the  advanced  post  ftr  the  siyne  purpose.  The  Sergeant  of  the 
police  guard,  accompanied  by  tvro  armed  soldiers,  folds  the  colorsvand 
lays  them  on  the  tre.^tle  in  tiie  rear  of  the  arms.  He  sees  that  the  sut- 
ler's stores  are  closed,  and  the  men  leave  them,  and  that  the  kitchen 
fires  are  put  out  at  the  appointed  hour. 

57-t.  The  officer  of  the  day  i^atisfies  himself  frequently  during  the 
night  of  the  vigilance  of  the  police  guard  and  advanced  post.  He 
prescribes  patrols  and  rounds  to  be  made  by  the  officer  and  non-com- 
missioned officers  of  the  guard.  The  officer  of  the  guard  orders  them 
when  he  thinks  necessary.     He  visits  the  sentinels  frequently. 

575.  At  reveille,  the  police  guard  takes  arms  ;  the  officer  of  the  guard 
inspects  it  and  the  advanced  post.  The  Sergeant  re  plants  theco'orsin 
place.  At  retreat  and  reveille  the  advanced  post  takes  arms ;  the 
Sergeant  makes  his  report  to  the  officer  of  the  guard  when  he  visits  the 
post. 

576.  When  necessary,  the  camp  is  covered  at  nig4it  with  small  out- 
posts, forming  a  double  chain  of  sentinels.  These  posts  are  under  the 
orders  of  the  commander  of  the  police  guard,  and  are  visited  by  his  pat- 
rols and  rounds. 

577.  The  officer  of  the  guard  makes  his  report  of  his  tour  of  service, 
including  the  advanced  post,  and  sends  it,  after  the  guard  is  marched 
off,  to  the  officer  of  ^he  day. 


POLICE    GUARD.  61 

578.  When  the  re;;iment  marches,  the  men  of  the  police  <);uard  return 
to  their  companies,  except  those  of  the  advanced  post.  In  the  cavalry, 
at  the  sound  "  boot  and  saddle,"  the  officer  of  the  gu.ird  sends  one-half 
the  men  to  saddle  and  pack;  when  the  regiment  assembles,  all  the  men 
join  it. 

579.  When  the  camping  party  precedes  the  regiment,  and  the  new 
police  guard  marches  with  the  camping  party,  the  guard,  on  reaching 
the  camp,  forms  a  line,thirty  paces  in  front  of  the  centre  of  the  ground 
marked  for  the  regiment.  The  officer  of  the  gftard  furnishes  the  senti- 
nels required  by  the  commander  of  the  camping  party. 

The  advanced  post  takes  its  station. 

580.  The  advanced  post  of  the  old  police  guard  takes  charge  of  the 
prisoners  on  the  march,  and  marches,  bayonets  fixed,  at  tlio  centre  of 
the  regiment.  On  reaching  the  camp,  it  turns  over  the  prisoners  to  the 
new  advanced  post. 

581.  The  detail  for  the  picket  is  made  daily,  after  tlie  details  for  duty 
of  first-class,  and  from  the  next  for  detail  on  the  roster  of  that  class. 
It  is  desigried  to  furnish  detachments  and  guards  unexpectedly  called 
for  in  the  txVenty-four  hours  ;  it  counts  as  a  tourof  the  first  class  to 
those  who  have  marched  on  detachment  or  guard,  or  who  have  passed 
the  night  in  bivouac. 

5S2.  The  officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  of  the  picket 
are  at  all  times  dressed  and  equipped;  the  horses  are  saddled,  and 
knapsacks  and  valises  ready  to  be  put  on. 

583.  Detacliments  and  guards  from  tlie  picket  are  taken  from  the 
head  of  the  picket  roll  in  each  company,  and,  if  possible,  equally  from 
each  company.  The  picket  of  a  regiment  is  composed  of  a  Lieutenant, 
two  Sergeants,  four  Corporals,  fi  drummer,  and  about  forty  privates. 
For  a  smaller  force,  the  picket  is  in  proportion  to  the  strength  of  the 
detachment. 

584.  Officers  and  men  of  the  picket  who  march  on  detachment  or 
guard  before  retreat,  will  be  replaced. 

585.  The  picket  is  assembled  by  the  Adjutant  at  guard-mounting;  it 
is  posted  twelve  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  guard,  and  i's  inspected  by  its 
own  commwider.  AVhen  the  guard  has  marclied  in  review,  the  com- 
mandant of  tlie  picket  marches  it  to,the  left  of  tlie  police  guard,  where 
it  stacks  its  arms,  and  is  dismissed  ;  the  arms  are  under  charge  of  the 
sentinel  of  the  police  guard. 

58G.  The  picket  is  only  assembled  by  the  orders  of  the  Colonel  or 
officer  of  the  day.     It  forms  on  the  left  of  the  police  guard. 

587.  The  officer  of  the  day  requires  tlie  roll  mf  the  picket  to  be  called 
fn  qiiontly  during  the  day  ;  tlie  call  is  soun<led  from  the  police  guard. 
At  roll-calls  and  inspections,  infantry  pickets  .assemble  with  knapsacks, 
on:  cavalry  on  foot.  The  picket  is  assembled  at  retreat:  the  officer 
has  the  roll  called,  and  inspects  the  arms.  The  pickets  sleep  in  their 
tents,  but  without  undressing. 

588.  The  picket  docs  not  assemble  at  night  except  in  cases  of  alarm, 
or  wiicn  the  whole  or  a  part  is  to  march;  then  the,  officer  of  the  day 
calls  the  offii-ers,  the  latter  the  non-commissioned  officers,  and  tliese  the 
men,  for  which  purpose  each  ascertains  the  tents  of  those  he  is  to  call  ; 
they  arc  assembled  without  boat  of  drum  or  other  noise.  At  night 
cavalry  pickets  assemble  mounted. 


62  GRAND   GUARDS. 

589.  Pickets  rejoin  their  companies  -whenever  the  regiment  is  under 
arms  for  review,  drill,  march,  or  battle. 

GRAND   GUARDS    AND   OTHER   OUTPOSTS. 

590.  Grand  guards  are  the  advanced  posts  of  3,  camp  or  cantonment, 
and  should  cover  the  approaches  to  it.  Their  number,  strength,  and 
position  are  regulated  by  the  commanders  of  brigad'es ;  in  detached 
corps,  by  the  commanding  officer.  When  it  can  be,  the  grand  guards 
of  cavalry  and  infantry'are  combined,  the  cavalry  furnishing  the  ad- 
vanced sentinels.  When  the  cavalry  is  vreak,  the  grand  guards  are  in- 
fantry, but  furnished  with  a  few  cavalry  soldiers,  to  get  and  carry  in- 
telligence of  the  enemy. 

591.  The  strength  of  a  grand  guard  of  a  brigade  will  depend  on  its 
object  and  the  strength  of  the  regiments,  the  nature  of  the  country,  the 
position  of  the  enemy,  and  the  disposition  of  the  inhabitants.  It  is 
usually  commanded  by  a  Captain. 

592.  Under  the  supervisions  of  the  Generals  of  Division  and  Brigade, 
the  grand  guards  are  specially  under  the  direction  of  a  field  officer  of 
the  day  in  each  brigade.  In  case  of  necessity.  Captains  may  be  added 
to  the  roster  of  Lieutenant-Colonels  and  Majors  for  this  detail. 

5V3.  Staff  officers  sent  from  division  headquarters  to  inspect  the 
posts  cf  grand  guards,  give  them  orders  only  in  urgent  cases,  and  in 
the  absence  of  the  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade. 

594.  Grand  guards  usually  mount  at  the  same  time  as  the  othT 
guards,  but  may  mount  before  daybreak  if  the  General  of  Brigade 
thinks*it  necessary  to  double  the  outposts  at  that  time.  In  this  case 
they  assemble  and  march  without  noise,  and  during  their  march  throw 
out  scouts;  this  precaution  slinuld  always  be  taken  in  the  first  posting 
of  a  grand  guard.  The  doubling  of  guards  weakens  the  corps  and 
fatigues  the  men,  and  should  seldom  be  resorted  to,  and  never  when 
preparing  to  march  or  fight. 

595.  A  grand  guard  is  conducted  to  its  post,  in  the  first  instance,  by 
the  field  officer  of  the  day,  guided  by  a  staff  officer  who  accompanied 
the  General  in  his  recoiinoiFsance.  After  th(>  post  has  been  established, 
the  commander  sends  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  when  -necessary,  a 
soldier  of  the  guard  to  guide  the  Relieving  guard  to  the  post.  He  also 
sends  to  him  in  tiie  evening  a  Corporal  or  trusty  man  of  the  guard  for 
the  note  containing  the  parole  atid  countersign,  and  sends  them  before 
dark  to  the  detached  posts.  He  will  not  suffer  his  guard  to  be  relieved 
except  by  a  guard  of  the  brigade,  or  by  special  orders. 

596.  If  there  is  no  pa»s  to  be  ol)served  or  defended,  the  grand  guards 
are  placed  near  the  centre  of  the  ground  they  are  to  observe,  on  shel- 
tered, and,  if  possible,  high  ground,  the  better  to  conceal  their  strength 
and  observe  the  enemy  ;  they  ought  not  to  be  placed  near  the  edge  of  a 
wood.  When,  during  the  day,  they  are  placed  very  near  or  in  sight  of 
the  enemy,  they  fall  back  at  night  on  posts  selected  farther  to  the  rear. 

597.  In  broken  or  in  mountainous  countries,  and  particularly  if  the 
inhabitants  are  ill-disposed,  intermediate  posts  must  be  esfabiished 
when  it  is  necessary  to  post  the  grand  guard  distant  from  the  camp. 

598.  Grand  guards  are  chiefly  to  watch  the  enemy  in  front;  their 
flanks  are  protected  by  each  other,  and  the  camps  must  furnish  poets  to 
T)rotect  their  rear  and  secure  their  retreat. 


(JRAND    GUARDS.  6?) 

599.  Grand  guards  are  seldom  intrenched,  and  never  without  the  or- 
ders of  the  General,  except  by  a  barricade  or  ditch  when  exposed  in  a 
plain  to  attacks  of  cavalry. 

600.  The  General  of  Division,  if  he  tliinks  proper,  changes  the  sta- 
tions and  orders  of  these  j^uards,  and  establishes  posts  to  connect  the 
brigades  or  protect  the  exterior  flanks. 

601.  After  a  grand  guard  is  posted,  the  first  care  of  the  commander 
and  of  the  field  oflicer  of  the  day  is  to  get  news  of  the  enemy  ;  tlien  to 
reconnoitre  his  position,  and  the  roads,  bridges,  fords,  and  defiles. 
This  reconnoisance  determines  the  force  and  pysititn  of  the  small  posts 
and  their  sentinels  day  and  night.  These  posts,  according  to  their  im- 
portance, are  commanded  by  officers  or  non-commissioned  oflicers ;  the 
cavalry  posts  may  be  relieved  every  four  or  eigiit  hours. 

602.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  receives  detailed  instructions 
from  the  (j^neral  and  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade,  and  in- 
structs the  commanders  of  the  small  posts  as  to  their  duties  and  the  ar- 
rangements for  the  defence  or  retreat.  Ihe  commanders  of  grand 
guards  may,  in  urgent  cases,  change  the  positions  of  the  small  posts. 
If  the  small  posts  are  to  change  their  positions  at  night,  they  wait  until 
the  grand  guard  have  got  into  position  and  darkness  hides  their  move- 
ments from  the  enemy  ;  then  march  silently  and  rapidly  utider  the 
charge  of  an  officer. 

603.  In  detached  corps,  small  posts  of  picked  men  are  at  night  sent, 
forward  on  the  roads  by  which  the  enemj'  may  attack  or  turn  the  p  si- 
tion.  They  watch  the  forks  of  the  roads,  keep  silence,  conceal  them- 
selves, lijrht  no  fires,  and  uften  change  place.  They  announce  the  ap- 
proach of  the  enemy  by  signals  agreed  upon,  and  retreat,  by  routes 
examined  during  the  day,  to  places  selected,  and  rejoin  the  guard  at 
daybreak. 

604.  Grand  guards  have  special  orders  in  each  case,  and  the  follow- 
ing in  all  ca«es  :  to  inform  the  nearest  posts  and  the  field  officer  of  the 
day,  or  the 'General  of  Brigade,  of  the  march  and  movements  of  the 
enemy,  and  of  the  attacks  they  receive  or  fear;  to  examine  every  per- 
son passing  near  the  post,  particularly- those  coming  from  without;  to 
arrest  suspicious  persons,  and  all  soldiers  and  camp-followers  who  try 
to  pass  out  without  permission,  and  to  send  to  the  General,  unless  other- 
wise directed,  all  country  people  who  come  in. 

605.  All  outguards  stand  to  arms  at  ni^ht  on  the  approach  of  pat- 
rols, rounds,  or  other  parties  ;  the  sentinel  over  the  arms  has  orders  to 
call  tliem  out. 

606.  Advanced  posts  will  not  take  arms  for  inspection  or  ceremony 
when  it  would  expose  them  to  the  view  of  the  enemy. 

607.  Grand  guards  are  often  charged  with  the  care  and  working  of 
.•♦elegraphic  signals. 

608.  The  sentinels  and  videttes  are  placed  on  point*  from  which  they 
can  see  farthest,  taking  caro  not  to  break  their  connection  witli  each 
other  or  with  their  posts.  They  are  concealed  from  the  enemy  as  nuuh 
lis  possible  by  walls,  or  trees,  or  elevated  ground.  It  is  gonpr.-dly  even 
of  more  advantage  not  to  be  seen  than  to  see  far.  They  should  not  be 
pla  'cd  near  covers,  where  the  enemy  may  capture  them. 

609.  A  sentinel  should  always  be  ready  t  >  tire,  videttes  carry  their 
pistols  or  carbines  in  their  hands.      A  sentinel    must  be  sure  of  the 


(♦4  ■  GRAND   GUARDS. 

presence  of  an  enemy  before  he  fires;  once  satisfied  of  that,  he  must 
lire,  though  all  defence  on  his  part  be  u?ele?s,  as  the  safety  of  the  post 
may  depend  on  it.     Sentinels  fire  on  all  persons  deserting  to  the  enemy. 

GIO.  If  the  post  must  be  Avhere  a  sentinel  on  it  can  not  eointnuiiicate 
with  tbe  guard,  a  corporal  and  three  men  are  detached  for  it,  or  the 
sentinels  are  doubled,  that  one  may  coiiiniunicate  with  the  guard. 
During  the  day  the  communication  may  be  made  by  .signals,  such  as 
raising  a  cap  or  handkerchief.  At  night  sentinels  are  placed  on  low 
ground,  the  better  to  see  objects  against  the  sky. 

Gil.  Tu  lessen  the  duty  of  rounds,  and  keep  more  men  on  the  alert 
at  night,  sentinels  are  relieved  every  hour.  To  prevent  sentinels  frt)m 
being  surprised,  it  is  sometimes  well  to  precede  the  countersign  by  sig- 
ra's,  such  as  striking  the  muskei  with  the  hand,  striking  the  hands  to- 
gether, &c. 

612.  On  the  approach  of  any  one  at  night,  the  sentinel  orders — 
"  Halt  !"  If  the  order  is  not  obeyed  after  once  repeated,  he  fires.  If 
obeyed,  he  calls — "  Who  goes  there?"  If  answered — "Rounds"  or 
"  Patrol,''  he  says — '^Advance  loith  the  countersign."  If  more  than  one 
advance  at  the  same  time,  or  th«  person  who  advances  fails  to  give  the 
countersign  or  signal  agreed  on,  the  sentinel  fires,  and  falls  back  on  his 
guard.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms,  as  soon  as  his  hail  is  answered, 
turns  out  the  guard,  and  tiie  Corporal  goes  to  reconnoitre.  When  it  is 
desirable  to  hide  the  position  of  the  sentinel  from  the  enemy,  the  hail 
is  replaced  by  signals  ;  the  sentinel  gives  the  signal,  and  those  approach- 
ing the  counter  signal. 

013.  With  raw  troops,  or  when  the  light  troops  of  the  enemy  are  nu- 
merous or  .active,  an  1  when  the  country  is  broken  or  wooded,  the  night 
stormy  or  dark,  sentinels  should  Le  doubled.  In  this  case,  while  one 
•watche«,  the  other  called  a  flying  sentinel,  moves  about,  examining  the 
paths  and  hollows. 

G14.  The  commandants  of  grand  guards  visit  the  sentinels  often  ; 
change  their  positions  when  necessary  ;  make  them  repeat  fheir  orders  ; 
teach  them  under  what  circumstances  and  at  what  signals  to  retire,  and 
particularly  not  to  fall  back  directly  on  their  guard  if  pursued,  but  to 
lead  the  enemy  in  a  circiit. 

G15.  At  night,  half  the  men  of  the  grand  guard  oflf  post  watch  under 
arms,  while  the  rest  lie  down,  arms  by  their  side.  The  horses  are  al- 
ways bridled  ;  the  horsemen  hold  the  reins,  and  must  not  sleep. 

G16.  When  a  grand  guard  of  cavalry  is  so  placed  as  not  to  be  liable 
to  a  sudden  attack  fi-om  the  enemy,  the  General  may  permit  the  horses 
to  be  fed  during  tlie  night,  unbridled  for  this  purpose  a  few  at  a  time — 
the  horsemen  being  vigilant, to  prevent  them  from  escaping. 

GI7.  An  hour  before  break  of  da}',  infantry  grand  guards  stand  to 
arms,  and  cavalry  mount.  At  the  advanced  posts,  some  of  the  infantry 
are  all  night  under  arms,  some  of  the  cavalry  on  horseback. 

618.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  regulates  the  numbers,  the 
hours,  and  the  march  of  patrols  and  rounds,  according  to  the  strength 
of  his  troop  and  the  necessity  for  precaution;  and,  accompanied -by 
those  who  arc  to  command  the  patrols  and  rounds  during  the  night,  he 
will  reconnoitre  all  the  routes  tliey  are  to  follow. 

619.  Patrols  and  rounds  march  slowly,  in  silence,  and  with  great 
precaution;  halt  frequently  to  listen,  and  examine  the  ground.     The 


GRAND    RUUN1>S.  6.^ 

* 

rounds  consist  of  an  officer  or  non-commissioned  oflficer  and  two  or  three 
men. 

620.  Toward  the  break  of  day  tlie  patrols  ought  to  be  more  frequent, 
and  sent  to  greater  distances.  They  examine  the  holhiw  ways,  and 
ground  likely  to  conceal  an  enemy,  but  witli  great  caution,  to  avoid  be- 
ing cut  off,  or  engaged  in  an  unequal  combat;  if  they  meet  the  enemy, 
they  fire  and  attempt  to  stop  his  march.  While  the  patrols  are  out  the 
posts  are  under  arms.  . 

621.  C:ivalry  patrols  shoxild  examine  the  country  to  a  greatendistance 
than  infantry,  and  repcrt  to  the  infantry  guard  every  thing  they  ob- 
serve. The  morning  patrols  and  scouts  do  not  return  until  broad  day- 
light; and  when  the}'  return,  the  night  sentinels  are  withdrawn,  and 
the  posts  for  the  day  resumed. 

622.  When  patrols  are  sent  beyond  the  advanced  posts,  the  posts  and 
sentinels  should  be  warned. 

623.  On  their  return,  commanders  of  patrols  report  in  regard  to  the 
ground  and  every  thing  they  have  observed  of  the  movements  of  the 
enemy,  or  of  his  posts,  and  the  commandant  of  the  grand  guanl  reports 
to  the  field  officeV  of  the  day. 

624.  The  fires  of  the  grand  guards  should  be  hidden  by  a  wall,  or 
ditch  or  other  screen.  To  deceive  the  enemy,  fires  are  sometimes  made 
on  ground  not  occupied.  Fires  are  not  permitted  at  small  posts  liable 
to  snrprrse. 

625.  The  horses  of  cavalry  guards  are  watered  or  fed  by  detachments ; 
during  which  the  rest  are  ready  to  mount. 

626.  If  a  body  of  troops  attempt  to  enter  the  camp  at  night,  unless 
their  arrival  has  been  announced,  or  the  commander  is  known  to,  or  is 
the  bearer  of  a  written  order  to  the  commander  of  the  grand  guards, 
lie  stops  tliem,  and  sends  the  commander  under  escort  to  the  field  offi- 
cer of  the  day,  and  warns  the  post  near  him. 

627.  Bfvirers  of  flags  9fe  not  permitlcd  to  pass  the  cuter  chain  of 
sentinels;  their  faces  are  turned  from  the  post  of  army;  if  necessary 
their  eyes  are  bandaged ;  a  non-commissioned  officer  stays  with  them 
to  prevent  indiscretion  of  the  sentinels. 

628.  The  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  receipts  for  dispatches,  and 
sends  them  to  the  field  officer  o^  the  day  or  General  of  Brigade,  and  dis- 
misses the  bearer  ;  but  if  he  has  discovered  what  ought  to  be  concealed 
from  the  enemy,,  he  is  detained  as  long  as  necessary. 

629.  Deserters  are  disarmed  at  the  advanced  posts,  and  sent  to  the 
commander  of  the  grand  guard,  who  gets  from  them  all  the  information 
he  can  concerning  his  post.  If  many  come  at  night  they  are  received 
cautiously,  a  Jew  at  a  time.  They  are  sent  in  the  morning  to  the  field 
officer  of  t tie  day,  or  to  the  nearest  post  or  camp,  to  be  conducted  to  tho 
General  of  the  brigade.  All  suspected  persons  are  searched  by  com- 
manders fif  the  posts. 

630.  When  an  enemy  advances  to  an  attack,  unless  he  is  in  too  great 
Tun-c,  or  the  grand  guard  is  to  ('efeiul  an   intrenched  post  or  a  defile,  it 

lake  positions  and  cxeiMite  tho  movements  to  check  the  enemy,  act- 
i«  skirmishers,  or  fighting  in  close  or  open  order,  as  may  be  best, 
guard  joins  its  corps  when  in  line,  or  when  a  sufficient  number  of 
,  ii  haro  reached  the  ground  it  dofcnds. 


66  INTRENCHED   POSTS. 


-INTRENCHED    POSTS. 


631.  Unless  the  army  he  actinp;  on  the  defensive,  no  post  should  be 
intenched,  except  to  cover  the  weak  parts  of  the  line,  or  at  points  which 
the  enemy  cannot  avoid,  or  in  mountain  warfare,  or  to-  the  close  of  a 
defile,  or  to  cover  winter  quarters. 

632.  Posts  connected  with  the  operations  of  an  army  are  intrenched 
only  hy  order  of  the  General-  commanding-in-chief  or  a  General  of  Di- 
vision.    ,  '  • 

633.  Any  intrenchment  tliat  requires  artillery  is  considered  as  a  post, 
and  a  guard  or  garrison  and  commander  are  assigned  to  it. 

634.  The  General  who  establishes  an  intrenched  post  gives  to  its  com- 
mander detailed  instructions  in  regard  to  its  defence,  and  the  circum- 
stances under  which  the  defence  sliould  cease. 

636.  11)0  commander  reconnoitcrs  his  post;  distribute^  the  troops; 
posts  the  oliicers  and  non-commissioned  officers;  forms  a  reserve;  gives 
orders  for  all  contingencies  he  can  foresee;  supposes  an  attack,  and 
arranges  his  troops  for  defence,  so  as  to  prepare  them  for  an  attack,  day 
or  nigiit. 

630.  In  dark  weather  he  redoubles  his  vigilance,  and  changes  the 
liours  and  direction  of  the  rounds  and  patrols.  He. permits  no  flags  of 
truce,  deserters  or  strangers  to  enter.  If  a  flag  ought  to  pass  his  post, 
he  bandages  his  eyes;  He  refuses  admittance  to  a  relief  or  asy  other 
party  until  he  has  carefully  examined  them.  In  case  of  an  attack,  ho 
does  not  wait  for  orders  or  hold  a  council.  Having  defended  his  post 
to  the  last  extremity,  or  till  the  purpose  of  the  defence,  according  to  his 
instructions,  is  answered,  he  nuiy  then  spike  his  guns  and  rejoin  the 
army  under  cover  of  night,  or  ly  cutting  his  way  through  the  enemy. 

DETACHMENTS. 

637.  When  a  detachment  is  to  Ije  formed  from  the  different  regiments 
of  a  brigade,  the  Assistant  Adjutant-General  of  the  brigade  assembles 
it,  and  turns  it  over  to  the  commander, 

635.  When  a  detachment  is  to  he  formed  from  different  brigades,  the 
Assistant  Adjutant-General  in  each,  forms  the  contingent  of  the  brig- 
ade, and  sends  it  to  the  place  (jf  assembling. 

639.  Detachments  are  generally  formed  by  taking  battalions,  squad- 
rons, companies,  platoons  in  turn,  according  to  the  roster  for  such  de- 
tail.       .  ^ 

640.  When  the  detachment  is  to  consist  of  men  from  every  company 
or  troop,  the  first  on  the  roster  for  guard  are  taken. 

641.  Officers,  ncm-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers,  whose  tour  it  is 
to  go  on  detachment,  if  employed  otherwise  at  the  time,  "are  relieved 
from  th«  duty  they  are  on,  if  they  can  reach  ihecampiu  time  to  march 
witli  the  detacli merit. 

642.*  When  detachments  meet,  the  command  is  regulated  while  they 
serve  together  as  if  they  formed  une  detachment.  But  the  senior  otil- 
cer.-^  cannot  prevent  the  commander  of  any  detachment  from  moving, 
when  he  thinks  proper,  to  execute  the  orders  he  has  received. 

643.  Ou  the  return  ct  a  detachment,  the  commander  reports  to  tho 
headquarters  from  which  he  received  his  orders. 


REC0NN0I8ANCES — PARTISANS   AND   FLANKERS.  67 

REC0XN0ISANCE8. 

644.  Near  <lie  enemy,  daily  reconnoisances  are  made  to  observe  tho 
ground  in  front,  and  to  discover  wlietlier  the  advanced  {guards  of  the 
enemy  have  been  inf leased  or  put  iu  motion,  or  any  other  sign  of  his 
preparation  for  manli  or  action. 

G4o.  They  are  made  by  small  parties  of  cavalry  and  infantry,  from 
the  Ijrigade,  under  direction  of  the  General  of  Division  or  the  General 
of  a  separate  brigade,  and  to  less  di.-itance  by  the  pastoral  of  thi-  grand 
guard,  and  are  not  repeated  at  the  same  hour  or  by  the  same  route  On 
the  [ilain,  rcconnoisances  are  made  by  cavalry;  among  mountains,  by 
infantry,  witi)  a  few  hor^;emen  to  carry  intelligence. 

64G.  lleconnoitering  parties  observe  th."!  following  precautions:  to 
leave  small  poSts,  or  sentinels  at  intervdb,  to  transmit  intelligwice  to 
the  advanced  posts  of  an  army,  unless  the  return  is  to  be  by  a  different 
route:  to  march  with  caution,  to  avoid  fighting;  and  see,  if  possible, 
without  being  seen  ;  to  keep  an  advanced  guard  ;  to  send  well  mounted 
men  ahead  of  the  advanced  guard  :  and  on  the  flank  of  the  party;  to 
instruct  the  .«couts  thav^o  two  should  enter  a  defile  or  mount  a  hill  to- 
gether,  but  to  go  one  at  a  time,  while  one  watches  to  carry  the  aews  if 
the  other  is  taken. 

647.  Before  daybreak  the  advanced  guard  and  scouts  are  drawn  closer  ; 
the  party  then  march  slowly  and  silently,  stop  frequently  to  listen,  and 
keep  the  hors^cs  that  neigh  in  the  rear.  The  party  should  enter  no 
wood,  defile,  village,  or  inclosure,  until  it  has  been  fully  examined  by 
the  scouts. 

648.  Special  rcconnoisances  are  made  under  the  instruction  of  tho 
General  in  command,  b^'  such  officers  and  with  sucb  force  as  he  may 
direct. 

649.  Offensive  or  forced  rcconnoisances  are  to  ascertain  with  certainty 
points  in  tho  enemy's  position,  or  his  strength.  They  are  sometimes 
preludes  to  real  actions,  and  sometimes  only  demonstrations.  They 
drive  in  his  outposts,  and  sometimes  engage  special  corps  of  his  line. 
They  are  only  made  by  order  of  the  General  commanding-iD-chief,  or 
the  commander  of  an  isolated  corps. 

650.  In  all  reports  of  rcconnoisances,  the  officer  making  them  shall 
distinguish  ^prebsly  what  he  has  seen  from  the  accounts  fce  has  not 
been  aWe  to  verify  personally. 

65J!  Ip:  special  and  offensive  reconnoisances,  the  report  must  be  ac- 
companied by  a  field  sketch  of  tho  localities,  the  dispositions  and  de- 
fences of  the  enemy. 

PARTISANS    AND    FLANKERS. 

652.  The  (^erations  of  partisan  corps  depend  on  th«  nature  and  thea- 
tre of  the  war;  they  enter  into  tlie  general  plan  f(f  operations,  and  are 
conducted  under  the  orders  of  the  Oenpral  comman<iing-in-chief. 
•  65.3.  Tho  composition  ahd  strength  of  partisan  corps  and  delnchmpnt 
of  flankers  depend  on  tho  object,  tho  drfficulties,  the  distance,  and  the 
p.obable  time  of  the  expedition. 

654.  The  purpose  of  thcfic  isolated  corps  is  to  reconnoitre  at  a  dis- 
tance on  tho  flanks  of  the  army,  to  protect  its  operations,  to  ticceivc  the 
enemy,  to  interrupt  his  communications,  to  intcrcopl  his  couriers  and 
his  correspondeace,  to  threaten  or  destroy  his  magazines,  to  carry  off 


68  MARCHES. 

his  posts  and  his  convoys,  or  at  all  events,  to  retard  his  march  by 
makinji;  him  detiich  largely  for  their  protection. 

655.  While  these  corps  fatigue  the  enemy  and  embarrass  his  opera- 
tions, they  endeavor  to  inspire  confidence  and  secure  the  good  will  of 
the  inhabitants  in  a  friendly  country,  and  to  hold  thefn  in  check  in  an 
enemy's  country. 

65G.  They  move  actively,  appear  unexpectedly  on  different  points,  in 
such  a  manner  as  to  make  it  impossible  to  estimate  their  force,  or  to  tell 
whether  they  are  irregular  forces  or  an  advanced  guard. 

657.  These  operations  require  vigilance,  secresy,  energy,  and  prompt- 
ness. The  partisan  commander  must  frequently  supply  by  stratagem 
and  audacity  what  he  wants  in  numbers. 

058.  These  detachments  are  sometimes  composed  of.different  arms, 
but  th?  service  belongs  more  particularly  to  the  light  cavalrj',  which 
can  move  to  a. distance  by  rapid  marches,  surprise  the  enemy,  attack 
unexpectedly,  and  retire  as  promptly. 

659.  Stormy  weather,  fogs,  extreme  heat,  and  the  night  above  all, 
are  favorable  to  the  success  of  ambuscades;  when  the  enemy  are  care- 
less, the  break  of  day  is  the  best  tiqae.  A  partisan  commander  should 
commdnicate  to  his  second  in  command,  his  secret  orders,  the  direction 
and  object  of  the  expedition,  and  the  diifereut  points  of  junction  with 
the  arm}'. 

660.  Guides  of  the  country  and  spies  are  often  necessary  to  the  parti- 
san. They  are  examined  separately,  and  confronted  if  their  accounts 
differ.  When  there  is  but  ore  guide,  he  marches  with  the  advanced 
guard,  guarded  by  two  men,  and  bound  if  necessary.  Peddlers  and 
smugglers  are  specially  suitable  for  siies. 

661.  A  fit  time  to  attack  a  convoy  is  at  a  halt,  or  when  they  begin  to 
park,  or  whenthey  are  watering,  passing  g,  wood  or  a  defile;  at  a  bend 
of  the  road,  a  bridge  or  steep  ascent. 

662.  The  attacking  party  may  be  principally  cavalry,  with  some  in- 
fantry. The  first  object  is  to  disperse  the  escort.  A  part  of  the  de- 
tachment attacks  the  main  body  of  the  eScort,  another  the  wagons,  and 
a  third  is  in  reserve;  skirrnishers  line. the  road,  and  try  to  cut  the 
traces,  and  to  seize  the  front  and  rear  wagons,  and  turn  them  across  the 
road,  to  prevent  the  train  from  advancing  or  retreating. 

663.  If  the  convoy  is  parked,  the  cavalry  surrounds  it,  ^ssails^the  es- 
cort, and  tries  to  draw  it  away  from  the  train.  The  infantry  ^nen  en- 
gage the  troops  remaining  at  the  park,  slip  under  the  wagongj.and  get 
into  tlie  park.  When  the  cavalry  is  alone  and  the  enemy  are  shakgn, 
they  dismount  a  portion  of  the  men  to  supply  the  want  of  infantry, 

604.  If.it  is  a  large  convoy,  the  principal  attack  is  made  on  the  cen- 
tre; the  most  valuable  wagons  are  also  selected  and  addiponaJ  horses 
are  put  to  them  if  the  attack  is  successful.  Those  that  cannot  be  car- 
ried off  are  burned. 

MARCHES. 

605.  The  object  of  the  movement  and  the  nature  of  the  ground  de- 
termine the  order  of  march,  the  kind  of  troops  in  each  column,  and 
the  number  of  columns. 

666.  Jhe  force  is  divided  into  as  many  columns  as  circumstances  per- 
jnit^.^'rt'ithout   weakening  any  one  too  much.     They  ought  to  preserve 


^  MARCHES.  (i9 

their  commanications,  and  be  within  supportinor  distanoo  of  each  other. 
Tlie  commander  of  each  column  oiiglit  to  know  the  strength  and  direc- 
tion of  the  otiiers. 

GG7.  Tlie  advance  and  rear  guards  are  usnully  lij^ht  troops;  tlicir 
strength  and  composition  depend  on  the  nature  of  the  gnuind  and  t|ie 
position  of  the  en'eniy.  They  ?erve  to  cover  the  movements  of  the 
nrmj',  «nd  to  hold  the  enemy  in  check  until  the  General  has  time  to 
make  his  arrangements. 

GG8.  The  advance  guard  is  rot  always  at  the  head  of  the  column  ;  in 
a  march  to  a  flank,  it  takes  such  positions  as  cover  the  movement. 
Sappers  are  attached  to  the  advanced  guard  if  required. 

CG9.  The  '' general,"  sounded  one  huur  before  the  time  of  marching, 
is  the  signal  to  strike  tents,  to  load  tiie  wagons,  and  pack  horses,  and 
send  them  to  the  place  of  assembling.  The  fires  are  then  put  out,  and 
care  taken  to  avoid  rmrning  straw,  »&o.,  or  giving  to  the  enemy  any 
other  indication  of  the  movement. 

070.  The  "  march"  will  be  beat  in  the  infantry,  and  the  "advance" 
sounded  in  the  cavalry,  in  succession,  as  each  is  to  take  its  place  in  the 
column. 

071.  When  the  army  should  form  suddenly  to  meet  the  enemy,  the 
"Zojig  roll"  is  beat,  and  "to  horse"  sounded.  Tlie  troops  form  rapidly 
in  front  of  their  camp. 

072.  Batteries  of  artillery  and  their  caissons  move  with  the  corps  to 
which  they  are  attached  ;  the  field  tiain  and  ambulances  march  at  the 
rear  of  the  column  ;  and  the  baggage  with  the  rear  guard. 

073.  Cavalry  and  infantry  do  not  march  together,  unless  the  proxim- 
ity of  the  enenjy  makes  it  necessary. 

074.  In  cavalry  marches,  when  distant  from  the  enemy,  each  regi- 
ment, and,  if  possible,  each  squadron,  forms  a  separate  column,  in  order 
to*keep  up  the  same  gaft  from  front  to  rear,  and  to  trot,  when  desirable, 
on  good  ground.  In  such  cases,  the  cavalry  may  leave  camp  later,  aiid 
can  give  more  rest  to  the  horses,  Tind  more  attention  to  the  shoeing  and 
harness.     Horses  are  not  bridled  until  the  time  to  start. 

075.  When  necessary,  the  orders  specify  the  rations  the  men  are  to 
•carry  in  their  haversacks.  The  field  (jfticers  and  Captains  make  inspec- 
tions frequently  during  the  march  ;  at  halts  they  e.xnminc  the  knap- 
packs,  viilisos  and  haversacks,  and  throw  a^ay  all  articles  not  author- 
ized. The  I'fiicers  and  non  commissioned  ofiicers  of  cavalry  companies 
attend  personally  to  the  pai'ks  and  girths. 

670.  When  it  can  be  avoided,  troops  siiould  not  be  asscVnbled  on  high 
roads  or  other  places  where  they  interrupt  the  communication, 

677.  Generals  of  Division  and  commanders  of  lietached  corps  srnd  a 
staff  officer  to  the  rendezvous,  in  advance,  to  receive  the  troops,  who, 
on  arriving,  take  their  place  in  the^  order  of  battle,  and  form  in  close 
column,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  Artillery,  or  trains  halted  on  the 
roads,  form  in  file  on  one  side. 

678.  The  esecuti<m  of  marching  orders  must  not  be  delayed.  If  tho 
commander  is  not  at  the  head  of  his  troops  when  they. are  to  march, 
the  next  in  rank  puts  the  column  in  motion. 

079.  If  po.««ible,  each  column  is  preceiicd  by  a  detachment  of  sappers, 
to  remove  obstacles  to  the  march,  ai<lcd,  when  necessary,  by  inlantry, 
or  the  people  of  the  country.     The  detachment  is  divided  into  two  sec- 


70  MARCHES.  ^ 

tions  ;  one  stops  to  remove  the  first  obstacle,  the  other  moves  on  to  the 
nest. 

680.  In  niG;ht  marches,  and  at  bad  place?,  and  at  cross-roads,  when 
necessary,  intelligent  non-conmiisaioned  officers  are  posted  to  show  the 
vvay,  and  are  relieved  by  t;  e  regiments  as  they  come  up. 

681.  On  the  march,  no  one  shall  hre  a  gun,  or  cry  '■^lialt,"  or  "march," 
without  orders. 

682.  Soldiers  are  not  to  stop  for  water ;  the  canteens  should  be  filled 
before  starting. 

683.  It  is  better  to  avoid  villages  ;  but  if  the  route  lies  through  them, 
officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  are  to  be  vigilant  to  prevent 
straggling.     Halts  should  not  take  place  at  villages. 

684.  Besides  the  rear  guard,  the  General  sometimes  takes  a  detach- 
ment from  the  last  regiment,  and  adds  to  it  non-commissioned  officers 
from  each  regiment,  to  examine  villages  and  all  hiding-places  on  the 
route,  to  bring  up  stragglers  and  seize  .marauders. 

685.  In  night  marches,  the  Sergeant-Miijor  of  each  regiment  remains 
at  the  rear  with  a  drummer,  to  give  notice  when  darkness  or  difficulty 
stops  the  march.  In  cavalry,  a  trumpet  is  placed  in  rear  of  each 
squadron,  and  the  si<inal  repeated  to  the  head  of  the  regiment. 

686.  The  General  and  field  officers  frequently  stop,  or  send  officers  to 
the  rear,  to  see  that  the  troops  march  in  the  prescribed  order,  and  keep 
their  distances.  To  quicken  the  march,  the  General  warns  the  Colo- 
nels, and  may  order  a  signnl  to  be  beat.  It  is  repeated,  in  all  the  regi- 
ments. . 

087.  In  approaching  a  defile,  the  Colonels  are  warned  ;  they  close 
their  regiments  as  they  come  up  ;  each  regiment  passes  separately,  at 
an  accelerated  oace,  and  in  as  close  order  as  po.^sible.  The  leading  regi- 
ment having  passed,  and  left  room  enough  for  the  whole  column  in 
close  order,  th&n  halts,  and  moves  again  as  soon  as  the  last  regiment  is 
through.  In  the  cavalry,  each  squadron,  before  quickening  the  pace  to 
rejoin  the  column,  takes  its  original  order  of  march. 

688.  When  the  distance  from  the  enemy  permits,  each  regiment, 
after  closing  up  in  front  and  rear  of  the  defile,  stacks  arms. 

689.  Halts  to  rest  and  re-form  the  troops  are  frequent  during  the  day,* 
depending  on  the  ol^ject  and  length  of  the  march.  The}'  are  made  in 
preference  after  the  passage  of  deSles. 

690.  No  honors  are  paid  by  troops  on  the  march  or  at  halts 

691.  The  sick  march  with  the  wagons. 

092.  Led  horses  of  officers,  and  tiie  horses  of  dismounted,  men,  follow 
their  regiment.  The  baggage  wagons  never  march  in  the  column. 
When  the  General  orders  the  field  train  and  aml)ulances  to  take  place 
in  the  column,  he  designates  the  position  they  shall  take. 

693.  If  two  corps  meet  on  the  same  road,  they  pass  to  the  right,  and 
both  continue  their  march,  if  the  road  is  wide  enough  ;  if  it  is  not,  the 
first  in  the  order  of  battle  takes  the  road;  the  other  halts. 

094.  A  corps  in  march  must  not  be  cut  by  another.  If  two  corps 
meet  at  cros^-roads,  that  which  arrives  last  halts  if  the  oiher  is  in  mo- 
tion. A  corps  in  march  passes-a  c.jwps  at  a  halt,  if  it  h'ls  precedence 
in  the  order  of  battle,  or  if  the  halted  corps  is  not  ready  to  move  at 
once. 

695.  A  column  that  halts  to  let  another  column  pass  resumeis  the 


BATTLES.       ^       "  71 

march  in  advance  of  the  (rain  of  this  column.  If  a  column  has  to  pass 
a  train,  tlie  train  must  halt,  if  necessary,  till  tlio  column  passes.  The 
column  whicK.has  precedence  must  yield  it  if  the  commander,  on  seeing 
the  orders  of  tlie  other,  finds  it  for  the  interest  of  the  sertice. 


696.  Dispositions  for  battle  depend  on  the  number,  kind,  and  quality 
of  the  troops  opposed,  on  the  ground,   and  on  the  objects  of  the  war  ;^ 
but  the  fo'lowinj;;  rules  are  to  be  observed  generally  : 

697.  In  attackin}:!;,  the  advanced  guard  endeavors  to  capture  the  ene- 
my's outposts,  or  cut  tbem  ofl[  froTki  the  main  body.  Having  done  ?o, 
or  driven  them  in,  it  occupies,  in  advancing^  all  the  points  that  can 
cover  or  facilitate  the  march  of  the  army, dr  secure  its  retreat,  such  as 
bridges,  defiles,  woods,  and  heights;  it  then  makes  attacks,  to  occupy 
the  enemy,  without  risking  too  much,  and  to  deceive  them  as  to  the 
march  and  projects  of  the  army. 

698.  When  the  ienemy  is  hidden  by  a  curtain  of  advanced  troops,  the 
commandant  of  tlie  advanced  guard  sends  scouts,  under  intelligent  offi- 
cers, to  the  right  and  left,  to  ascertain  his  position  and  movements.  If 
he  does  not  succeed  in  this  way,  he  tries  to  unmask  the  enemy  by- 
demonstrations;  threatens  to  cut  the  advance  from  the  main  body; 
makes  false  attacks  ;  partial  and  impetuous  charges  in  echelon  ;  and  if 
all  fail,  he  makes  a  real  attack  to  accomplish  the  object. 

699.  Detachments  left  by  the  advanced  guard  to  hold  points  in  the 
rear,  fejain  it  when  other  troops  come  up.  If  the  army  takes  a  posi- 
tion, and  the  ad^nced  guard  is  separated  from  it  by  defiles  or  heights, 
the  communication  is  secured  by  troops  drawn  from  the  main  body. 

700.  At  proper  distance  from   the  enemy,  the  troops  are  formed  for 
the  attack  in  several  lines;  if  (;Dly  two  can  be  formed,  some  battalions; 
in  column  are  placed  behind  tlie  wings  of  the  second  line.     The  lines 
may  be  formed  of  troops  in  column  or  in  order  of  battle,  aCv.'ording  to 
the  ground  and  plan  of  attack. 

701.  The  advanced  guard  may  be  put  in  the  line  or  on  the  wings,  or 
other  position,  to  aid  the  pursuit  or  cover  the  retreat. 

702.  The  reserve  is  formed  of  the  best  troops  of  foot  and  horse,  to 
complete  a  victory  or  make  good  a  retreat.  It  is  placed  in  the  rear  of 
the  centre,  or  chief  point  of  attack  or  defence.  ^ 

703.  The  cavalry  should  be  distributed  in  echelon  on  the  wings  and 
at  tiie  centre,  on  favorable  ground, 

704.  It  should  be  instructed  not  to  take  the  gallop  until  within  charg- 
ing distance;  never  to  receive  a  charge  at  a  halt,  but  to  meet  it,  or,  if 
not  strong  enough,  to  retire  manoeuvring;  and  in  order  to  be  ready  for 
the  pursuit,  and  prepared  against  a  reverse,  or  the  attacks  of  the  re- 
serve, not  to  engage  all  its  squadrons.at  once,  but  to  reserve  one  third, 
in  column  or  in  echelon,  abreast  of  or  in  the  rear  of  one  of  the  wings  ; 
this  arrangement  is  better  than  a  srcond  line  with  intervals. 

705.  In  the  attack,  the  artillery  is  employed  to  silence  the  batteries 
that  protect  the  position.  In  the  defence,  it  is  better  to  direct  its  fire 
on  the  advancing  troops.  In  either  case,  as  many  pieces  are  united  as 
possible,  the  fire  of  artillery  being  formidable  in  proportion  to  its  con- 
centration. 

706.  Id  battles  and  military  operations  it  is  better  to  assume  the 


72  '      •  '       ,      BATTLES. 

offensive,  and  put  the  enemy  on  the  defensive ;  but  to  be  safe  in  doing 
BO  requires  a  ]arg;er  force  than  the  enemy,  or  better  troops,  and  favora- 
ble ground.  When  obliged  to  act  on  the  defensive,  the  advantage  of 
■  position  and  of  making  the  attack  may  sometimes  be  secured  by  form- 
ing in  rear  of  the  ground  on  which  we  are  to  fight,  and  advancing  at 
the  moment  of  action.  In  mountain  warfare,  the  assailant  has  always 
the  disadvantage  ;  and  even  in  offensive  warfare,  in  the  open  field,  it 
may  frequently  be  very  important,  when  the  artillery  is  well  posted, 
and  any  advantage  of  the  ground  may  be  secured,  to  await  the  enemy 
and  compel  him  to  attack.  _    . 

707.  The  attack  should  be  made  wfth  a  superior  force  on  the  defen- 
sive point  of  the  enemy's  position,  by  masking  this  by  false  attacks  and 
demonstrations  on  other  points,  and  by  concealing  the  troops  intended 
for 'it  by  the  ground  or  by  otiier  troops  in  the  front. 

708.  Besides  the  arrangements  which  depend  on  the  supposed  plan 
of  the  enemy,  the  wings  must  be  protected  by  the  ground,  or  supported 
by  troops  in  echelon ;  if  the  attack  of  the  enemy  is  repulsed,  the  offen- 
sive must  at  once  be  taken,  to  inspire  the  troops,  to  disconcert  the  ene- 
my, and  often  to  decide  the  action.  In  thus  taking  the  offensive,  a 
close  column  should  be  pushed  rapidly  on  the  wing  or  flank  of  the  ene- 
my. The  divisions  of  this  column  form  in  the  line  of  battle  succes- 
sively, and  each  division  moves  to  the  front  as  soon  as  formed,  in  order, 
by  a  rapid  attack  in  echelon,  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  changing  front 
or  bringing  up  his  reserves.  In  all  arrangements,  especially  in  those 
for  attacks,  it  is  most  important  to  cmceal  the  dcNign  until  the  moment 
of  execution,  and  then  to  execute  it  with  the  greatest  rapidity.  The 
night,  therefore,  is  preferred  for  the  movement  of  troops  on  the  flank 
or  rear  of  the  enemy,  otherwise  it  is  necessary  to  mask'  their  march  by 
a  grand  movement  in  front,  or  by  taking  a  wide  circuit. 

709.  In  making  an  attack,  the  communications  to  the  rear  and  for  re- 
treat must  be  secured,  and  the  General  must  give  beforehand  all  neces- 
sary.orders  to  provide  for  that  event. 

710.  When  a  success  is  gained,  the  light  troops  should  pursue  the 
enemy  promptly  and  rapidly.  The  other  troops  will  restore  order  in 
their  columns,  theu  advance  from  position  to  position,  always  prepared 
for  an  attack  or  to  support  the  troops  engaged. 

711.  Before  the  action,  the  Generals  indicate  the  places  where  they 
will  be;  if  they  change  position,  tliey  give  notice-  of  it,  or  leave  a  staff 
officer  to  show  where  they  have  gone. 

712.  During  the  figiit  tl)e  officers  and  noncommissioned  officers  keep 
the  men  in  the  ranks,  and  enforce  obedience  if  necessary.  Soldiers 
must  not  be  permitted  to  leave  the  ranks  to  strip  or  rob  the  dead,  nor 
to  assist  the  w^ounded,  unless  by  express  permission,  which  is  only  to 
be  given  after  the  action  is  decided;  The  highest  interest  and  duty  is 
to  win  the  victorj',  which  only  can  insure  proper  care  of  the  wounded. 

713.  Before  the  action,  tlie  Quartermaster  of  the  division  makes  all 
the  necessary  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  the  wounded.    lie 
establishes  the  ambulance  depots  in   the  rear,  and  gives  his  assistants. 
the  necessary  instruction  for  the  service  of  the  ambulance  wagons  and 

,other  means  of  removing  the  wounded. 

714.  The  ambulance  depot,  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or  di- 
I'ected  for  imraodiato  treatment,  is  generally  established  at  the  most 


BATTLBS — PRISONERS   0!    WAR.  73 

convenient  building  nearest  tlie  field  of  battle.  A  7'ed  flag  marks  its 
place,  or  the  way  to  it,  to  the  conductor^  of  the  ambulances  and  to  the 
wpiinded  who  onn  walk. 

715.  The  active  ambulances  follow  the  troops  engnjied  to  8ucc'>r  the 
wounded  and  reuntve  them  to  the  tiepnts  ;  for  this  purpose  the  conduc- 
tors should  always  have  the  ne(fessary  assistants,  that  the  soldiers  may 
have  no  excuse  fo  Ipave  tlie  ranks  for  that  object. 

716.  The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  consultation  with  the 
Qnarternirtster-General,  distributes  the  medical  officers  and  hospital  at- 
tendants at  his  disposal,  to  the  depots  and  active  ambulances,  lie  will 
send  officers  and  attendants  when  practicable,  to  the  active  ambulances, 
to  relieve  the  wounded  who  require  treatment  before  beinj:;  removed 
from  the  ground.  He  will  see  that  the  depots  and  ambulances  are 
provided  with  the  necessary  apparatus,  niedicines  and  stores.  He 
will  take  post  and  render  his  professional  services  at  the  principal 
depot. 

717.  If  the  enemy  endanjj;er  the  depot,  the  Quartermaster  takes  the 
orders  of  the  General  to  remove  it  or  strengthen  its  guard. 

718.  The  wounded  in  the  depots  and  the  sick  a#e  removed  as  soon  aa 
possitile  to  tlie  hospitnls  that  have  been  established  by  the  Qoartermas- 
ter-General  of  the  army  on  the  flanks  or  rear  of  the  army. 

719.  After  an  .actirin,  the  officers  on  ordnance  duty  collect  the  muni- 
tions of  war  left  on  the  field,  and  make  a  return  of  tliem  to  the  Gene- 
ral. The  Quartermaster's  Department  collects  the  rest  of  the  public 
property,  captured,  and  makes  the  returns  to  headquarters. 

720.  Written  reports  for  the  General  commanding-in-chief  are  made 
by  commandants  of  regiments,  batteries,  and  separate  squad: ons,  and 
by  all  commanders  of  a  higher  grade,  eacJi  in  what  concerns  his  own 
command,  and  to  his  imuiediato  commander. 

721.  When  an  otfieer  or  s(ddier  deserves  mention  for  conduct  in  ac- 
tion, a  special  report  shall  be  made  in  his  case,  i\nd  the  General  com- 
mandiiig-in-chief  decides  whether  to  mention  him  in  his  report  to  the 
government  and  in  his  orders  But  he  shall -not  be  mentioned  in  the 
report  until  he  has  been  mentioned  in  the  orders  to  the  :irmy.  These 
8|f^cial  reports  are  examined  with  c!vre  by  the  intermediate  command- 
ers, to  verify  the  facts,  and  secure  commendation  and  rewards  to  jJtf 
meritorious  only.  T^ 

722.  The  report  of  battles,  which  must  frequently  be  made  before 
these  special  reports  of  persons  are  scrutinized,  is  confined  to  general 
praise  or  blamo,  and  an  account  of  the  operations. 

PRISONERS    OF    AVAR. 

723.  Prisoners  of  war  will  be  disarmed  and  sent  to  the  rear,  and  re- 
ported as  soon  as  practicable  to  the  headfjuarters.  The  return  of  pri- 
soners fpim  the  headquarters  of  the  Army  to  the  War  Department 
will  specify  the  nutnber,  rank,  and  corp^. 

724.  The  private  property  of  pris.uiers  will  be  duly  respected,  and 
each  shall  be  troateil  with  the  reganl  due  to  his  rank.  They  are  to 
obey  tiie  necessary  orders  i^iv'^n  them.  They  receive  f)r  subsistenpc 
one  ration  each,  without  regard  to  rank  ;  and  the  wounded  are  to  be 
treated  with  the  snmo  cars  as  the  wounded  of  the  armv.     Other  nliow-

ances  to  them  will  depend  on  conventions  with  the  enemy.     Prisoner's 
hor-ips  will  be  tiiken  fur  the  army. 

725.  Exchanges  of  prisoners  and  release  of  ofiBcers  on  parole  depend 
on  the  orders  of  the  Generul  cummanding-in-chief,  under  the  instruc- 
tions of  government. 

CON.VOYS   AND   THEIR   ESCORTS. 

726.  The  strength  and  composition  of  the  escort  of  a  convoy  depend 
on  the  country,  the  nature  and  value  of  the  convoy,  and  the  dangers  it 
may  incur.  A  larger  escort  is  required  for  a  convoy  of  powder,  that 
the  defence  may  nut  be  near  the  train, 

727.  Cavalry  is  employed  in  escorts  chiefly  to  reconnoitre ;  the  pro- 
portion is   arger  as  the  country  is  more  open. 

728.  Pioneers  or  working  parties  are  attached  to  convoys  to  mend 
roads,  remove  obstacles,  anderect  defences.  The  convoys  should  alwaja 
be  provided  with  spare  wheels,'  poles,  asles,  &c, 

729.  The  commandant  of  the  escort  should  receive  detailed  instruc- 
tions in  writing. 

730.  As  far  as  the. defence  permits,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
shall  refer  to  the  ofiBcer  in  charge  of  the  convoy  for  the  hours  of  depar- 
ture, the  halts,  the  parking  aud  order  of  the  train,  and  the  precautions 
against  accidents.  «» 

731.  Officers  who  accompany  the  convoy,  but  do  not  belong  to  the  es- 
cort, shall  exercise  no  authority  in  it  except  by  consent  of  the  comman- 
der. If  these  oflBcers  are  junior  to  the  commander,  he  may  assign  them 
to  duty  if  the  defence  requires  it. 

732.  Large  convoys  are  formed  .into  divisions,  each  with  a  conductor. 
The  distance  between  the  w^ons  is  four  paces.  A  small  party  of  in- 
fantry is  attached  to  each  division. 

733.  Generally,  munitions  of  war  are  at  the  head  of  the  convoy,  sub- 
sistence nest,  and  then  other  military  stores  ;  the  sutler  la^t.  But  al- 
ways that  part  of  the  convoy  which  is  most  important  to  the  army  shall 
be  where  it  is  most  secure  from  danger. 

734.  The  commandant  should  send  out  reconnoitering  parties,  and 
never  put  the  convoy  in  motion  until  their  reports  have  been  received. 
He  always  forms  an  advance  and  rear  guard,  and  keeps  tlie  main  body 
under  his  immediate  order  at  the  most  important  point,  with  small 
guards  rr  posts  at  other  points. 

735.  In  an  open  country  the  main  body  marches  by  the  side  of  tho 
road,  opposite  the  centre  of  the  convoy,  in  other  cases  at  the  head  or 
rear  of  the  column,  as  the  one  or  the  other  is  more  exposed. 

736.  The  advance  guard  precedes  tne  convoy  far  enough  to  remove 
all  obstacles  to  its  advance.  It  examines  the  woods,  defiles,  and  vil- 
lages, and  by  mounted  men  gives  information  to  the  commander,  and 
receives  his  orders.     It  re.ionnoitres  places  for  halts  and  parks. 

737.  If  the  head  of  the  column  is  threatened,  the  advanced  guard 
seizes  the  defiles  and  places  which  the  enemy  might  occupy,  and  holds 
them  until  the  main  body  advances  to  the  front  and,  relieves  it ;  the 
main  body  holds  the  positions  until  the  head  of  the  convoy  arrives,  and 
then  leaves  detachments,  which  are  reli§\'^  by  the  parties  marching 
with  '  le  divisions  ;  the  posts  are  not  abandcmed  until  the  whole  convoy 
has  passed  and  the  position  is  no  longer  important! 


CONVOYS    AND    THEIR   ESCORTS.  iO 

738.  When  the  rear  is  tlireatoncd,  like  measures  are  taken  ;  tlierenr 
puard  defends  the  grounds  and  retards  the  enemy  by  breaking  the 
bridujes  and  blocking  the  road.     . 

739.  If  the  flanks  are  threatened,  and  the  ground  is  brok  "i,  andmany 
defiles  are  to  be  passed,  the  defence  of  the  convoy  Vjecomes  more  diffi- 
cult; the  advance  and  rearguards  must  bo  reduced,  the  Hanks  strength- 
ened, and  positions  which  will  cover  tlie  march  of  the  convoy  must  be 
occupied  by  the  main  liody  of  the  troops  before  the  head  of  the  convoy 
reaches  them,  and  until  it  has  passed. 

740.  If  the  convoy  is  large  and  has  to  pass  places  that  the  force  and 
position  of  the  enemy  make  dangerous,  the  loss  of  the  whole  convoy 
must  not  lie  risked  ;  it  must  pass  by  divisions,  which  reunite  after  the 
passage.  In  this  case  the  greater  part  of  the  troops  guard  the  first  di- 
vision ;  they  seise  the  important  points,  and  cover  them  with  light 
troops,  or,  if  necessary,  with  small  posts,  and  hold  them  until  all  tlio 
divisions  have  passed. 

741.  If  there  is  artillery  in  the  convoy,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
uses  it  for  the  defence. 

742.  To  move  faster  and  make  the  defence  easier,  the  wagons  move 
in  double  file  whenever  the  road  allows  it.  If  a  wagon  breaks,  it  is  at 
once  removed  from  the  road  ;  when  repaired,  it  takes  the  rear  ;  when  ic 
cannot  be  repaired,  its  load  and  horses  are  distributed  to  some  of  the 
other  wagons  kept  in  the  rear  for  that  purpose. 

743.  Cenvoys  by  water  are  escorted  on  the  same  principles.  Each  boat 
has  a  email  infantry  guard  ;  one  portion  of  the  escort  precedes  or  follows 
the  convoy  in  boats.  The  cavalry  march  opposite  the  convoy;  the  ad- 
vance and  rear  guard  move  by  land,  and  all  are  connected  by  flankers 
with  the  convoy.  Where  a  river  runs  through  a  narrow  valley,  the  body 
of  the  infantry  moves  by  land  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  occupying  the 
heights  and  disturbing  the  convoy. 

744.  Convoys  halt  every  hour  to  let  the  horses  take  breath  and  the 
wngons  close  up.  Long  halts  are  made  but  seldom,  and  only  in  places 
that  have  been  reconnoitered  and  found  favorable  for  defence.  At  night 
the  park  is  arranged  for  defence,  and  in  preference  at  a  distance  from 
inhabited  places,  if  in  at]  enemy's  country. 

745.  Tlie  wagons  are  usually  parked  in  ranks,  axle  against  axle,  the 
polos  in  the  samo  direction,  and  with  sufficient  space  between  the  ranks 
for  the  horses.  If  an  attack  is  feared,  they  are  parked  in  square,  the 
liind  wheels  out<ide,  and  the  horses  inside. 

746.  On  the  appearance  of  the  enemy  during  the  march,  the  com- 
mander clos(?s  up  the  wagons  and  continues  hie  march  in  order  :  ho 
avoids  fighting  ;  but  if  the  enemy  seizes  a  position  that  commands  his 
road,  he  attacks  vigorously  with  the  maes  of  his  force,  but  is  not  to  con- 
tinue the  pursuit  far  from  the  convoy.  The  convoy  halts,  and  resumes 
the  march  when  the  position  iscarriel. 

747.  When  the  enemy  is  too  strong  to  be  attacked,  the  co.voy  is 
parked  in  square  if  there  is  room  ;  if  not  closed  up  in  diub'e  file:  at 
the  front  and  roar  the  roud  is  blocked  by  v.agotis  across  it.  The  dri- 
vers are  di«mount(^  at  the  heads  of  the  horses.  They  are  not  permit- 
ted to  make  their  escape.  The  light  troops  keep  the  enemy  ■  t  a  dis- 
tancp  as  long  as  possiMe.  an''  are  suppni-tod  when  nooop'^nrY.  "  ut  ;'ru- 
dently,  as  the  troops  must  be  kept  ia  hand  to  resist  the  main  attack. 


76  BAGGAGE    TI{A1\S. 

748.  If  a  wagon  takes  fire  in  the  park,  remove  it  if  possible  ;  If  not, 
remove  iirs-t  tiie  ammunition  wagunS,  then  those   to  leeward  of  the  fire. 

749.  When  a  whule  convoy  cininot  be  saved,  the  ni  ist  valuable  part 
may  sometimes  he  by  a))andoni!ij]j  ihe  rest.  If  all  effous  fail,  and  there 
is  no  hope  of  snofor,  the  convoy  must  be  setjon  fire  and  the  hor^e8 
killed  that  cannot  be  saved,;  the  esjort  may   then  cut  its' way  tlu-ouiib. 

750.  If  the  convoy  is  of  prisoners  of  war,  every  effort  should  be  made 
to  reach  a  vi!la;;e  or  strong  building  where  they  may  be  confined;  if 
forced  to  fij^ht  in  tlie  field,  the  prisoners  must  bo  secured  and  made  to 
lie  down  until  the  action  is  over. 

BAGGAGE    TRAINS. 

751.  The  bnggage  train  of  general  headquarters  and  the  trains  of 
the  several  divisions  are  each  under  the  charge  of  an  officer  of  the 
Quartermaster's  Defiartmont.  These  officers  command  and  conduct  the 
trains  under  the  orders  they  receive  from  their  respective  headquarters. 
When  the  trains  of  different  divisions  march  together,  or  the  train  of 
.1  division  marches  with  the  train  of  general  headciuarters,  the  senior 
Qoartermaster  directs  the  whole. 

752.  The  regimental  Q.uartej-master  has  charge  of  the  wagons,  hor.ses, 
equipments,  and  all  means  of  transport  employed  in  the  service  of  the 
regiment.  Under  the  orders  of  the  Colonel,  he  assembles  them  for  the 
march,  and  maintains  the  order  and  police  of  the  train  in  park  on  the 
inarch.  On  marches,  the  regimental  trains  are  under  the  orders  of  the 
Quartermaster  of  the  division.  When  the  march  is  by  brigade,  the 
senior  Regimental  Quai  termaster  in  the  brigade,  or  the  Quartermaster 
of  the  brigade  has  the  direction  of  the  whole.  The  necessary  wagon- 
masters,  or  non-commissioned  officers  to  act  as  such,  are  employed  with 
the  several  trains. 

753.  None  but  the  authorized  wagons  are  allowed  to  march  with  the 
train.  The  wagons  of  the  several  headquarters,  the  regimental  wag- 
ons, and  the  wagons  of  sutlers  autiiorized  by  orders  from  headquarters 
to  march  with  the  train,  are  all  to  be  conspicuously  maiked. 

754.  When  the  train  of  headquarters  is  to  have  a  guard,  the  strengtli 
of  the  guard  is  regulated  by  the  General.  Generals  of  Brigade  guard 
their  trains  by  the  men  attached  to  the  train  of  the  first  regiment  of 
their  brigades.  The  regimental  trains  are  loaded,  unloaded,  and  guard- 
ed, as  far  as  practicable,  by  convalescents  and  men  not  effective  in. the 
ranks;  in  the  cavalry,  by  dismounted  men.  When  the  guard  of  a 
train  is  the  escort  for  its  defence,  the  regulations  in  regard  to  convoys 
and  escorts  take  effect.  ■> 

755.  Habitually  each  division  is  followed  by  its  train,  the  regimental 
trains,  uniting  at  the  brigade  rendezviuis.  When  otherwise,  tlie  order 
for  tlie  movement  of  the  divisions,  brigades,  and  regimofits  contains  the 
necessary  directions  in  regard  to  the  assembling  and  marching  of  the 
respective  trains.  The  several  trains  march  in  an  order  ana!o;;ous  to 
the  rank  of  the  generals,  and  tiie  order  of  battle  of  the  troops  to  which 
they  belong.  Tr.nns  are  nest  allowed  in  any  case  to  be  in  the  midst  of 
the  troops,  or  to  impede  the  march  of  the  troops.      •   • 

750.  The  wagon-masters,  under  the  orders  of  the  officers  of  the  Quar- 
termaster's Department,  exercise  the  necessary  restraints  over  the  team- 
ete'rs  and  servants  who   leave  their  teams,  or  do  not  properly  con-

run  away  in  case  of  attack. 

757.  The  General  comniandinor  the  army,  and  tlie  Generals  of  Division 
wi:i  not  permit  any  general  (ir  staff  officer,  or  rojziimeiit  under  their  or- 
ders, or  any  person  whatsoever,  attached  to  their  command,  to  have 
more  than  the  authorized  amount  or  moans  of  transportation.  Fur  this 
purpose  they  will  themselves  make,  and  cause  to  lie  made,  frequent  re- 
views and  inspections  of  the  trains.  They  will  see  that  no  trooper  is 
employed  to  lead  a  private  horse,  no  soldier  to  drive  a  private  vehicle, 
and  that  no  trooper  is  put  on  foot  to  lend  his  horse  to  an  officer.  They 
will  not  permit  the  wagons  of  the  artillery  or  of  the  train  to  be  loaded 
with  anything  foreign  to  their  proper  seivice,  nor  any  public  horse,  for 
any  occasion,  to  be  harnessed  to  a  private  carriage. 

758.  The  o.Ticers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  the  wagon  mas- 
tere,  and  all  conductors  of  trains,  are  charged  with  watching  that  tho 
regulations  respecting  transportation  allowances  are  strictly  observed. 

GENERAL    POLICE. 

759.  When  necessary,  the  General-inchief,  or  General  of  Division, 
may  t'.ppoint  a  provost  martial  to  take  charge  of  prisoners,  with  a  suit- 
able guards  or  other  police  force. 

760.  Private  .servants.  m)t  soldiers,  will  not  be  allowed  to  wear  tho 
uniform  of  any  corps  of  the  army  ;  but  ench  will  be  required  to  carry 
with  hini  a  certificate  from  the  officer,  who  employs  him,  verified,  for 
regimental  utlicers,  by  the  signature  of  tho  Colunel  ;  for  (jther  (fficers 
under  the  rank  of  Colonel,  by  the  chief  of  their  corps  or  department. 

761.  Laundresse.s  peimittcd  to  follow  the  army  will  be  furnished  with 
certificates,  signed  as  in  the  preceding  par.agraph,  and  no  woman  of  bad 
chanicter  will  be  allowed  to  folloiv  the  army.  X)ther  persons  with  the 
flrmy,  not  uffic-rs  or  soldiers,  such  as  guides  of  the  country,  interpre- 
ters, &c.,  will  carry  about  them  similar  certificates  from  the  head- 
quarters that  employs  them. 

762.  Deserters  from  the  enemy,  after  being  examined,  will  be  secured 
for  some  days,  as  they  may  be  spies  in  disguise  ;  as  opportunities  offer, 
they  wiil  be  sent  to  the  rear;  after  which,  if  they  are  found  lurking 
about  the  army,  or  attempting  to  return  to  the  enemy,  they  will  bo 
treated  with  severity. 

76o.  The  arms  and  accoutrements  of  deserters  will  be  turned  over  to 
tlie  Ordnance  Department,  and  their  horses  to  the  corps  in  want  of  them, 
after  being  branded  with  the  letters  "  C.  S."  The  compensation  to  bo 
acttorded  to  deserters,  f..r  such  objects,  will  lie  according  to  appraisen)ent, 
made  under  the  direction  of  the  Qmirtermasier's  Department.  The  en- 
iistment  of  deserters,  without  express  permission  from  General  head- 
quarters, is  pr.  hiiiited. 

76+.  It  is  forbidden  to  pnrehnse  horses  without  ascertaining  the  right 
of  the  party  to  sell,  Stol<'n  horses  shall  be  restored.  Esuays,  in  ilio 
enemy'b  country,  when  the  owner  is  not  discovered,  are  taken  for  the 
army.

SAFEGUARDS. 

766.  Safeguards  are  protections  granted  to  persons  or  property  in- 
foreijin  parts  l>y  the  commanding  general,  or  by  other  commanders 
within  the  liniits  of  their  command. 

7G7.  Safeguards  are  usually  given  to  protect  hospitals,  public  estab- 
lishments, establishments  of  religion,  charity,  or  instruction,  museums, 
depositories  of  the  arts,  mills,  post-offices,  and  other  institutions  of  pub- 
lic benefit;  also  to  individuals  whom  it  may  be  tiie  interest  of  the  army 
to  respect. 

768.  A  safeguard  may  consist  of  one  or  more  men  of  fidelity  and 
firmness,  generally  noneffective  non-commissioned  officers,  furnished 
with  a  paper  sotting  out  clearly  the  protection  and  exemptions  it  is 
intended  to  secure,  signtd  by  the  commander  giving  it,  and  his  staff 
officer;  or  it  may  consist  of  such  a  paper,  delivered  to  the  party  whose 
person,  fumily.  house  and  property  it  is  designed  to  protect.  These 
safeguards  must  be  nu^nbered  and  registered. 

769.  The  men  left  as  safeguards  by  one  corps  may  be  replaced  by 
another.  They  are'  withdrawn  when  the  country  is  evacuated  ;  but  if 
not,  they  have  orders  to  await  the  r.rrival  of  the  enemy's^troops,  and 
apply  to  the  commander  for  a  safe-conduct  to  the  outposts.

771.  In  the  following  regulations  the  besieging  force  is  supposed  to 
be  two  divisions  of  infantry  and  a  brigade  of  cavalry.  The  same  prin- 
ciples govern  in  other  cases. 

772.  The  Brigadier-Generals  of  infantry  serve,  in  turn,  as  Generals 
of  the  trench  js  ;  one  or  more  of  them  are  detailed  daily,  according  to 
+"io  front  and  number  of 'attacks  ;  they  superintend  the  operations,  and 
dispone  the  guards  of  the  tren-^hes  to  repulse  sorties  and  protect  the 
works.  Officers  of  the  general  staff  are  assigned  to  theiu  to  transmit 
their  orders  and  attend  to  thQ  details  of  service^ 


^iJiUES.       .  79 

773.  The  Colonels  antl  Lieutenant-Colonels  of  in  Pantry  alternate  for 
duty*n  the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  are  detailed  daily  ;  they  superintend 
the  service  of  the  guards  and  workmen  in  tiicpart  of  the  work  to  which 
the  general  of  the  trenches  assigns  them,  being  posted  with  trocps  of 
their  own  regiments  in  preference.  Tlie  commandant  of  the  siege  may 
place  the  Colonels  on  the  roster  with  the  Brigadier-Generals. 

774.  The  commandants  of  engineers  and  artillery  accompany  thfe 
first  troops  before  tlie  place  to  esamino  the  works  and  the  approaches. 
When  tlie  engineers  have  completed  the  reconnoissance  of  the  works, 
and  of  each  front  a's  far  as  practicable,  the  commandant  of  engineers 
makes  a  plan  of  the  works  as  exact  and  detailed  as  possible,  and  under 
the  instructions  of  the  Genfenl  commanding  the  siege,  draws  up  the 
general  plan  of  the  siege,  and  discusses  it  with  the  commandant  of  ar- 
tillery in  regard  to  the  best  eniployment  of  that  arm.  These  ofiBcers 
then  submit  their  joint  or  separate  opinions  to  the  General  who  decides 
on  the  plan  of  the  siege,  and  gives  the  orders  for  the  execution.  The 
commandant  of  engineers  directs  the  construction  of  all  the  works  of 
the  siege,  under  the  authority  of  the  General,  and  lays  before  him  every 
day  a  report  of  his  operations,  and  a  plan  showing  the  progress  of  the 
attack.  The  commandant  of  artillery  also  makes  daily  reports  to  the 
Genera!  of  all  that  relates  to  his  branch  of  the  service. 

•     775.  The  Quartermaster  General   establishes  the  hospitals,  and  orga- 
nizes the  means  for  transporting  the  wounded  to  them. 

77G.  The  commanding  General  appoints  a  field  officer  of  the  trenches, 
who  is  aided  by  i^ne  or  two  Captains  or  Lieutenants, 

777.  The  field  oflScer  of  the  trenches  is  charged  with  all  the  details 
relative  to  the  assembling  of  the  guards  and  the  workmen.  He  distri- 
butes the  guards  on  the  difTerent  points  of  the  attack  agreeably  to  the 
orders  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  forms  the  detachments  of 
workmen  for  the  engineers  andjirtillery  ;  that  he  may  be  prepared  for 
this  distribution,  he  receives  every  day  from  the  Adjutant-General  a 
statement  of  the  details  for  the  nextdaj'. 

778.  On  the  arrival  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  the  field  officer  of 
the  trenches  gives  him  all  the  information  necessary  to  enable  him  to 
station  the  troops,  attends  him  in  his  visit  to  the  tren'^-hes,  and  takes 
bis  orders  on  the  changes  to  make  in  the  position  of  the  troops.  The 
CKocution  is  intrusted  to  the  commandants  of  tlie  troops. 

779.  Tlie  field. officer  of  the  trenches  sees  that  men  and  litters  are 
always  ready  to  bring  off  the  wounded.  One  or  more  comptuaies  of  the 
guards  of  the  trenches  are  put  under  his  immediate  orders  lor  the  pre- 
servation of  order  and  police  in  the  trenches. 

780.  The  divisions,  brigades,  regiments,  and  battalions,  are  encamped 
during  the  siege  in  the  order  of  battle.  The  service  of  camp  is  C(fa- 
ductcd  a<  heretofore  prescribed. 

781.  The  infantry  lias  two  kinds  of  siege  service — the  a;uard  of  the 
trenches  and  the  work  of  the  trenches. 

7^2.  The  guards  of  the  trenches  mount  every  day  by  battalions,  in 
8uch  order  of  detail  tiiat  all  the  troops  may  take  an  eijual  share,  and 
no  part  of  the  line  to  be  left  too  weak.  If  only  one  battalion  is  required, 
each  division  furnishes  it  alternately  ;  if  two  are  required,  each  divi- 
sion gives  one;  if  three,  one  division  furnishes  two,  the  other  one,  al-

783.  The  detail  for  work  of  the  trenches  is  by  company,  from  all  the 
regiments  at^)ne  time,  or  in  turn,  and  continues  generally  twelve  hours. 
The  detail  from  any  regiment  should  never  be  less  than  ii  company. 
If  only  half  a  company  would  bo  neecled  from  all  the  regiments  at  a 
time,  every  other  regiment  furnishes  a  full  company  alternately. 

784.  The  battalions  for  guard  are  detailed  at  least  twelve  hours  in 
advance;  they  furnish  no  other  details  during  this  tour.  If  the  whole 
regiment  is  called  out,  it  leaves  a  sufficient  police  guard  in  camp. 

783.  Twenty-four  hours,  or  twelve  at  least,  before  mount'ng  guard  in 
the  trenches,  the  battalions  detailed  for  guard  do  not  furnish  workmen  ; 
and  the  companies  of  these  battalions  whose  tour  it  would  have  been 
to  work  in  the  trenches  do  not  go  there  for  twenty-four  hours  after 
guard-,  if  possible,  or  at  the  least  twelve. 

786.  The  workmen  who  are  required  for  other  work  than  that  of  the 
trencher,  are  taken  from  the  roster  for  fatigue  from  the  battalions  and 
companies  not  employed  in  the  trenches. 

787.  The  battalions  first  fur  detail  for  guard  of  the  trenches,  and  the 
companies  first  for  detail  for  work  in  the  trenches,  furnish  no  other  de- 
tails; and  are  held  on  picket,  ready  to  march  at  the  call  of  the  field 
officer  of  the  trenches. 

788.  Materials  for  the  siege,  such  as  fascines,  gabions,  hurdles, 
pickets,  &c.,  are  furnished  by  the  different  corps,  in  the  proportion 
ordered  by  the  General. 

789.  Guards  and  workmen  going  to  the  trenches,  march  without  beat 
of  drum  or  music. 

790.  At-all  times,  and  especially  on  the  day  the  trenches  are  opened, 
everything  is  avoided  likely  to  attract  the  attention  of  the  enemy.  With 
this  view,  the  General  may  vary  the  hour  of  relieving  guards. 

791.  The  chiefs  of  engineers  and  artillery  make  requisitions  for 
workmen  in  advance,  that  the  details  may  be  made  in  time  to  prevent 
any  delay  in  the  work.  They  should  exceed  the  number  strictly  re- 
quired, that  there  may  be  a  reserve  for  unforeseen  wants.  If  this  re- 
serve is  found  insufficient,  the  General  directs  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  to  call  on  the  picket. 

792.  Before  the  guards  and  workmen  march,  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  arranges  them  so  that  each  detachment  can  reach  its  ground 
without  (^nfusion.  The  troops  are  posted  in  the  trenches  according  to 
the  position  of  their  regiments  in  the  order  of  buttle,  and,  as  far  as 
possible,  the  companies  of  workmen  in  like  order.  The  reserves  of 
workmen  are  placed  at  the  depot  of  the  trenches,  or  the  nearest  suita- 
ble place  to  the  works. 

7'J3.  The  workmen  leave  their  knapsacks  and  swords  in  camp,  and 
march  with  their  fire-arms  and  cartridge-boxes,  whicii  they  place  near 
fhem  while  at  work.  They  always  carry  iheir  overcoats,  to  cover  them 
in  resting  or  when  wounded. 

794.  Tiie  guards  always  enter  the  trenches  with  arms  trailed,  and 
the  workmen  also,  unless  they  carry  materials  or  tools,  when  the  arms 
are  in  the  sling. 

795.  The  guards  and  detachments  of  workmen  send  a  Corporal  to  the 


SIEGES.  81 

openings  of  the  trenches  to  guide  the  relief.     They  march  out  of  tho 
trenches  by  tlie  flank^  with  trailed  arms. 

796.  Stiiid  bags,  forming  locip-holes,  are  placed  ft  intervrtls  on  the 
parapet  to  protect  the  sentinels  ;  tliey  are  mure  numerous  than  the  s^en- 
tinels,  so  that  the  enemy  w.^y  not  know  where  tiie  sentinels  are  placed. 

797.  Wlien  detachments  are  placed  at  nigiit  in  advance  of  tho  trench- 
es, to  cover  the"  workmen,  the  men  sit  or  lie  down,  with  their  lire-arms 
in  their  hands,  to  hide  themselves  better  from  the  enemy;  the  sentinels 
put  their  ears  to  the  ground  frequently,  that  they  may  hear  troops  com- 
ing out  of  the  place.  To  prevent  mistakes,  the  workmen  are  told  what 
troops  cover  them. 

798.  No  honors  are  paid  in  the  trenche's.  When  the  General  com- 
manding the  siege  visits  them,  the  guards  place  themselves  in  rear  of 
the  banquette,  and  rests  on  their  arms.  The  colors  are  never  carried 
to  the  trenches  unless  the  whole  regiment  marches  to  repulse  a  scrtio 
or  make  an  assault.  Even  in  this  case,  they  are  not  displayed  until  the 
General  commanding  the  siege  gives  a  formal  order. 

799.  The  materials  of  the  siege  of  all  kinds,  together  with  the  tools, 
are  collected  in  part  at  the  depots  of  the  trenches,  and  in  part  at  tho 
opening  of  the  trenches,  or  in  such  other  place  as  has  been  appointed 
for  the  convenience  of  the  service  by  the  field  officers  of  the  trenches, 
on  the  advice  of  the  chiefs  of  artillery  and  engineers,  'i  hey  are  in 
charge  of  officers  of  engineers  and  artiller}',  with  guards  or  noncom- 
missioned  officers  of  both  corps.  But  if  these  corps  cannot  furnish 
them,  the  chiefs  apply  for  assistance  from  the  infantry. 

800.  The  workmen,  in  going  to  the  trenches,  carry  such  tools  and 
materials  as  are  required  by  the  artillery  and  engineers.  In  this  case, 
the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  has  notice  and  superintends  it. 

801.  The  soldiers  sent  to  the  trenches  go  with  their  cartridge-boxes 
filled.  Cartridges,  when  needed,  are  sent  to  the  trenches  on  the  requi- 
sition of  commanders  of  battalions,  approved  by  the  General  of  the 
trenches. 

802.  In  the  case  of  a  sortie,  the  guards  move  rapidly  to  the  places  - 
that  have  been  designated  by  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  which 
afford  the  best  defence  for  the  head  of  the  works,  the  batteries,  the  com- 
munications, or  the  flanks,  or  best  enable  them  to  take  the  sortie  itself 
in  flank  or  reverse.  Having  lined  the  banquette  to  fire  on  the  enemy, 
the  troops  form  on  the  reverse  of  the  trench  to  receive  him.  The  work- 
men take  arms,  retain  their  positions,  or  retire  with  their  tools,  as  or- 
dered. Tiie  officers  commanding  the  detachments  of  workmen  see  that 
their  movements  are  made  promptly  and  in  good  order,  so  as  to  avoid 
all  confusion  in  the  communications. 

803.  The  troops  that  advance  beyond  the  trenches  to  r^pulse  the  sor- 
tie, must  not  follow  in'pursuit.  Tho  General  takes  care  that  they  re- 
turn to  the  trenches  before  the  retreat  of  tho  sortie  allows  the  artillery 
of  the  place  to  open  on  them.  When  tlie  workmen  return*  the  officers 
and  non-comnnssioned  officers  of  the  detnchnients  cal'  the  roll  without 
intorrupting  the  work,  wiiieli  is  immediately  resumed.  • 

804.  When  it  h  necessary  to  dismount  cavalry  and  send  them  to  the 
trenches,  they  should  be  employed  as  near  their  camp  as  possible,  and 
posted  between  the  dotnchments  of  infantry. 


82  SIEGES. 

805.  Men  belonging  to  the  cavalry  may,  in  assaults,  be  employed  in 
carrying  fascines  anrl  other  materials  to  fill  ditches  and  make  passages. 

806.  The  general  officers  of  cavalry  are  more  particularly  employed 
in  the  service  of  posts  and  detachments  placed  in  observation  to  protect 
the  siege.  They  and  the  field  ofiicers  of  this  arm  are  employed  in  the 
command  of  escorts  to  convoys,  of  whatever  arms  the  escorts  may  be 
composed.  When  these  duties!  are  not  suflScient  to  employ  them,  they 
take  their  share  of  the  duty  of  the  trenches.      ^ 

807.  The  officers  of  engineers  and  artillery  of  the  trenches  make  to 
the  General  of  the  trenches  a  return  of  all  losses  in  their  troops,  and 
such  other  reports  on  the  work  as  he  requires,  in  addition  to  the  reports 
direct  to  their  respective  chiefs  on  the  details  of  the  service. 

808.  At  the  end  of  each  tour,  the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  draws 
up  a  report  for  the  twenty-four  hours  to  the  General  of  the  trenches. 
The  General  of  the  trenches  reports  to  the  General  commanding  the 
siege. 

809.  The  commanders  of  the  several  corps  in  the  trenches  report,  - 
when  relieved,  to  their  respective  headquarters  the  losses  during  the 
tour,  and  the  conduct  of  the  officers  and  men. 

810.  However  practicable  the  breach  may  appear,  or  however  ruined 
the  work  in  rear  of  it,  the  heads  of  columns  must  always  be  supplied 
with  ladders  to  get  over  unexpected  obstacles. 

811.  The  General  commanding  the  siege  designates  picked  compa- 
nies to  protect  property  and  persons,  and  prevent  pillage  and  violence, 
from  the  moment  the  place  is  carried.  The  officers  exert  themselves  to 
restrain  the  men. 

812.  The  General  designates  the  places  requiring  particular  protec- 
tion, such  as  churches,  asylums,  hospitals,  colleges,  schools  and  maga- 
zines. The  order  of  their,  protection  should  remind  the  soldiers,  at  the 
time,  of  the  penalty  of  disobeying  it. 

813.  Whether  the  place  be  taken  by  assault  or  by  capitulation,  the 
provisions  and  the  military  stores,  and  the  public  funds,  are  reserved 
for  the  use  of  the  army.     " 

814.  The  commander  of  engineers  will  keep  a  journal  of  the  siege, 
showing  the  operations  of  each  day  in  detail,  the  force  employed  on  the 
work,  the  kind  and  quantity  of  materials  used  in  them,  &c.  He  will 
also  mark  on  a  plan  of  the  ground  the  daily  progress  of  the  works,  and 
make  the  necessary  drawings  explanatory  of  their  construction. 

815.  The  commander  of  the  artillery  will  keep  a  daily  journal  of  the 
operations  under  his  direction,  showing  the  number  and  kind  of  pieces 
in  battery,  the  force  employed  in  serving  them,  the  kind  and  quantity 
of  ammunition  expended,  the  number  of  rounds  fired  from  each  piece 
of  ordnance,  the  66*601  of  the  fire,  and  all  other  particulars  relative  to 
his  branch  of  *the  service. 

816.  These  journals  and  drawings  will  be  Sent  after  the  siege,  with 
the  report  of  the  General,  to  the  War.  Department. 

DEFENCE    OF    FORTIFIED    PLACES. 

SW.  In  war,  every  commander  of  a  fortified  place  shall  always  hold 
himself  prepared  with  his  plan  of  defence,  a,s  if  at  rfriy  time  liable  to 
attack.  He  arranges  this  plan  accorcfing  to  the  probable  mode  of  at- 
tack ;  determines  the  posts  of  the  troops  in  the  several  parts  of  the 


SIEGES.  83 

vmrks,  the  reliefs,  the  reserves},  and  the  details  of  setvice  in  all  the 
corps.  He  draws  up  instructions  for  a  case  of  attack,  and  exercises  the 
garrison  accurdinu;  to  his  plan  of  defence.  In  sea-coast  works  he  pro- 
vides the  instructions  for  the  different  batteries  on  the  approach  of 
ships. 

818.  In  framing  his  plan,  he  studies  the  works  and  the  exterior  wfth- 
in  the  ladius  of  attack  and  investment,  the  strength  of  the  garrison, 
the  artillery,  the  munitions  of  war,  subsistence  and  supplies  of  all 
kinds,  and  takes  immediate  measures. to  procure  whatever  is  deficient  of 
troops  or  supplies,  either  by  requisition  on  the  Government,  or  from  the 
means  put  at  his  disposal. 

819.  On  the  approach  of  an  enemy,  he  removes  all  houses  and  other 
objects,  within  or  without  the  place,  that  cover  the  approaches,  or  in- 
terrupt the  fire  of  the  guns  or  the  movements  of  the  troops.  He  as- 
sures himself  personally  that  all  posterns,  outlets,  or  embrasures,  &c., 
are  in  pmper  state  of  security'. 

820.  He  shall  be  furnislfted  by  the  Department  of  War  with  a  plan  of 
the  works,  showing  all  the  details  of  the'furtifications  and  of  the  exte- 
rior within  the  radius  of  attack  ;  with  a  map  of  the  environs  within  the 
ladius  of  investment ,  with  a  map  of  the  vicinity,  including  the  neigh- 
boring works,  roads,  water-channels,  coasts,  &c.  ;  with  a  memoir  ex- 
plaining the  situation  and  defence  of  the  place,  and  the  relations  and 
bearings  of  the  several  works  on  each  other,  and  on  the  approaches  by 
land  and  water — all  of  which  he  carefully  preserves,  and  communicates 
only  to  the  council  of  defence. 

821.  He  consults  his  next  in  rank,  and  the  senior  oflBcer  of  the  engi- 
neers and  of  the  artillery,  either  separately,  or  as  a  council  of  defence. 
In  the  latter  case,  ho  designates  an  officer  to  act  as  secretary  to  the 
council,  and  to  record  their  proceedings  and  their  joint  or  separate 
opinions,  which  are  to  be  kept  secret  during  the  siege.  The  members 
may  record  their  opinions  under  their  own  signature.  In  all  cases,  the 
commander  decides  on  his  own  responsibility. 

822.  The  commander  of  the  place,  and  the  chiefs  of  engineers  and  of 
artillery,  shall  keep  journals  of  the  defence,  in  which  shall  be  entered, 
in  order  of  date,  without  blank  or  interlineation,  the  orders  given  or 
received,  the  manner  in  which  .they  are  executed,  their  results,  and 
every  event  and  circumstance  of  importance  in  the  progress  of  the  de- 
fence. These  journals,  and  the  proceedings  of  the  council  of  defence, 
shall  be  sent,  after  the  siege,  to  the  Department  of  War. 

823.  There  shall  be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  commandant  of  the  place, 
to  be  sent  after^he  siege  to  the  Department  of  War,  a  map  of  the  envi- 
rons, a  plan  of  the  fortifications,  and  a  special  plan  of  the  front  of  at- 
tack, on  which  the  chief  engineer  will  trace,  in  succession,  the  positions 
occupied,  and  the  works  executed  by  frlie  enemy  from  the  investment; 
and  also  the  works  of  counter  approach  of  defence,  and  the  successive 
positions  of  the  artillery  and  other  troops  of  the  garrison  during  the 
progress  of  the  siege. 

824.  The  commander  shall  defend  in  succession  the  advanced  works, 
tlie  covered  way  and  outworks,  the  body  of  the  work,  and  the  interior 
entri'nchments.  He  will  not  be  content  with  clearing  away  the  foot  of 
the  breaches,  and  defending  them  by  abattis,  mines,  and  all  the  means 
used  in  sieges  ;  but  he  shall  begin  in  good  time,  behind  the  bastions  or 


84  TROOrS   ON    BOARD    OF   TRANSPORTS. 

front  of  attack,  the  necessary  entrenchments  to  resist  assaults  on  the 
main  work. 

825.  He  shall  use  his  means  of  defence  in  such  manner  as  always  to 
have  a  reserve  of  fresh  troops,  chosen  from  his  best  soldiers,  to  resist 
assaults,  re-take  the  outworks,  and  especially  to  resist  assaults  on  the 
body  of  the  place;  and  a  reserve  of  provisions  for  the  last  period  of  the 
sie^e,  and  of  ammunition  for  the  last  attacks. 

826.  He  must,  in  every  case,  compel  the  besieging  force  to  approach 
by  the  slow  and  successive  works  of  siege,  and  must  sustain  at  least  one 
assault  on  a  practicable  breach  in  the  body  of  the  place. 

827.  When  the  commander  thinks  that  the  exid  of  the  defence  has 
come,  he  shall  still  consult  the  councyl  of  defence  on  the  means  that 
may  remain  to  prolong  the  siege.  But  in  all  cases  he  alone  will  decide 
on  the  time,  manner,  and  terms  of  the  surrender.  In  the  capitulation, 
he  shall  not  seek  or  accept  better  terms  for  himself  than  for  the  garri- 
son, but  shall  share  their  fate,  and  exert  his  best  endeavors  for  the 
care  of  the  troops,  and  especially  of  the  sick  and  wounded. 

828.  No  commander  in  the*  field  shall  withdraw  troops  or  supplies 
from  any  fortified  place,  or  exercise  any  authority  over  its  commandant, 
unless  it  has  been  put  subject  to  his  orders  by  competent  authority. 

ARTICLE  XXXVII. 

TROOPS   ON  BOARD  OF   TRANSPORTS. 

829.  Military  commanders  charged  with  the  embarkation  of  troops, 
and  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department  intrusted  with  the  se- 
lection of  the  transports,  will  take  care  that  the  vessels  are  entirely  sea- 
worthy and  proper  for  such  service,  and  suitable  arrangements  are 
made  in  them  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  the  troops. 

830.  If,  in  the  opinion  of  the  oflicer  commanding  the  troops  to  be  em- 
barked, the  vessel  is  not  proper  or  suitably  arranged,  the  officer  charged 
with  the  embai'kation  shall  cause  her  to  be  inspected  by  competent  and 
experienced  persons. 

831.  Immediately  after  embarking,  the  men  will  be  assigned  to  quar- 
ters, equal  parties  on  both  sides  of  the  ship,  and  no  man  will  be  al- 
lowed to  loiter  or  sleep  on  the  opposite  side.  As  far  as  practicable,  the 
men  of  each  company  will  be  assigned  to  the  same  part  of  the  vessel, 
and  the  squads,  in  the  same  manner,  to  contiguous  berths. 

832.  Arms  will  be  s-o  placed,  if  there  be  no  racks,  as  to  be  secure  from 
injury,  and  enable  the  men  to  handle  them  promptly  ;  bayonets  unfixed 
and  in  scabbard. 

♦  833,  Ammunition  in  cartridge-boxes  to  be  placed  as  to  be  entirely 
secure  from  fire ;  reserve  ammunition  to  be  reported  to  the  master  of 
the  transport,  with  request  that' he  designate  a  safe  place  of  deposit. 
Frequent  inspections  will  be  made  of  the  service  ammunition,  to  insure 
its  safety  and  good  condition, 

834.  No  officer  is  to  sleep  out  of  his  ship,  or  to  quit  his  ship,  without 
the  sanction  of  the  officer  commanding  on  board. 

835.  The  guard  will  be  proportioned  to  the  number  of  sentinels  re- 
quired. At  sea,  the  guard  will  mount  with  side  arms  only.  The  oflB- 
cer  of  the  guard  will  be  the  officer  of  the  day. 

836.  Sentmels  will  be  kept  over  the  fires,  with  bucket^  of  water  ai

hand,  promptly  to  extiopjuish  fires.  Smoking  is  prohibited  between 
decks  or  in  the  cabins,  at  all  times  ;  nor  shall  any  lights  he  allowed  be- 
tween decks  except  such  ship  lanterns  as  tlio  master  of  the  transport 
may  direct,  or  those  carried  by  the  oSicer  of  the  day  in  the  execution  of 
his  duty. 

837.  Ilegulations  will  be  adopted  to  enable  companies  or  messes  to 
cook  in  turn  ;  no  others  than  those  whose  turn  it  is  will  be  allowed  to 
loiter  round  or  approach  the  galleys  or  other  cooking  places. 

838.  The  commanding  officer  will  make  arrangen<ents,  in  concert 
with  the  master  of  the  vessel,  for  calling  the  troops  to  quarters,  so  that 
in -case  of  alarm,  by  storm,  or  fire,  or  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  every 
man  may  repair  promptly  to  his  station.  But  he  will  take  care  not  to 
crowd  the  deck.  The  troops  not  wanted  at  the  guns,  or  to  assist  tho 
sailors,  and  tho^o  who  cannot  be  advantageously  employed  with  small 
arms,  will  be  formed  as  a  reserve  1.  etwcen  decks. 

839.  All  the  troops  will  turn  out  at A.  M.,  without  arms  or  uni- 
form, and  (  in  warm  weather)  without  shoes  or  stockings;  when  every 
individual  will  be  clean,  his  liands,  fac^i  and  feet  washed,  and  his  hair 
combed.  The  same  personal  inspection  will  be  repeated  thirty  minutes 
before  sunset.  The  cooks  alone  will  be  exempted  from  one  of  these  in- 
spections per  day,  if  necessary. 

840.  Recruits  or  awkward  men  will  be  exercised  in  the  morning  ond 
evening  in  the  use  of  arms,  an  hour  each  time,  when  the  weuther  will 
permit. 

841.  Officers  will  enforce  cleanliness  as  indispensable  to  health.  When 
the  weather  will  permit,  bedding  will  be  brought  on  deck  every  morn- 
ing for  airing.  Tubs  may  be  fixed  on  the  forecastle  for  bathing,  or  the 
men  may  be  placed  in  the  chains  and  have  buckets  of  water  thrown 
over  them. 

842.  Between  d'ecA-s  will  not  be  washed  oftencr  than"once  a  week,  and 
only  when  the  weather  is  tine.  Tiie  boards  of  the  lower  bertlis  will  be 
removed  once  or  twice  a  week  to  change  the  straw.  Under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Surgeon  and  theotficer  of  the  day,  frequent  fumigations  will 
be  performed  between  decks.  The  materials  required  are — common 
salt,  four  ounces;  powdered  oxide  of  manganese,  one  ounce;  sulphuric 
acid,  one  ounce,  diluted  with  two  ounces  of  water-  The  diluted  acid  is 
poured  over  the  other  ingredients  in  a  basin  placed  in  a  hot  sand  bath. 
Solutions  of  chloride  uf  lime  and  chloride  of  zinc  are  excellent  disin- 
fecting agents. 

843.  During  voyages  in  hot  weather,  the  master  of  the  vessel  will  be 
desired  to  provide  wind-sails,  which  will  be  kept  C(mstiuitly  hung  up. 
and  frequently  examined,  to  see  that  they  draw  well  and  are  not  ob- 
structed. 

844.  During  cooking  hours,  the  officers  of  companies^isit  the  ca- 
boose, and  see  that  the  messes  are  well  prepared.  The  coppers  and  other 
cooking  utensils  are  to  be  regularly  and  well  wasiied,  both  bejore  and 
after  use. 

845.  The  bedding  will  be  replace<l  in  the  berths  at  sunset,  or  at  an 
earlier  hour  when  there  is  a  prospect  of  bad  weather ;  and  at  tattoo 
every  man  not  on  duty  will  be  in  his  berth.  To  insure  the  execution 
of  this  regulation,  the  officer  of  the  day,  with  a  lantern,  will  make  a  tour 
between  decks. 


86  TROOPS    ON    BOARD    OF    TRANSPORTS. 

846.  Lights  will  be  extinguished  at  tattoo,  except  such  as  are  placed 
under  sentinels.  The  officer  of  the  day  will  see  to  it,  and  report  to  the 
commanding  officer.  The  ofiDcers'  lights  will  be  extinguished  at  10 
o'clock,  unless  special  permission  be  given  to  continue  them  for  a  longer 
time,  as  in  case  of  sickness  or  other  emergency. 

847.  For  the  sake  of  exercise,  the  troops  will  be  occasionally  called  to 
quarters  by  the  beat  to  arms.  Those  appointed  to  the  guns  will  be  fre- 
quently exercised  in  the  use  of  them.  The  arms  and  accoutrements 
will  be  frequently  inspected.  The  metalic  parts  of  the  former  will  be 
often  wiped  and  greased  again. 

848.  The  men  will  not  be  allowed  to  sleep  on  deck  in  hot  weathenor 
in  the  sun ;  they  will  be  encouraged  and  required  to  take  exercise  on 
deck,  in  squads  by  succession,  when  necessary. 

849.  At  morning  and  evening  parades,  the  Surgeon  ysAX  examine  the 
men,  to  observe  whether  there  be  any  appearance  of  disease. 

850.  The  sick  will,  as  far  as  practicable,  be  separated  from  the  healthy 
men.  On  the  first  appearance  of  malignant  contagion,  a  signal  will  be 
made  for  the  hospital  vessel  ( if  there  be  one  in  company,)  and  the  dis- 
eased men  removed  to  her. 

851.  A  good  supply  of  hospital  stores  and  medicines  will  be  taken  on 
each  vessel,  and  used  only  for  the  sick  and  convalescent. 

852.  The  Surgeon  will  guard  the  men  against  costiveness  on  ap- 
proaching a  hot  climate.  In  passing  through  the  West  Indies  to  the 
Southern  coast,  for  instance,  and  for  some  weeks  after  landing  in  those 
latitudes,  great  cfvre  is  required  in  the  use  of  fruit,  as  strangers  would 
not  be  competent  to  judge  of  it,  and  most  kinds,  after  long  voyages,  are 
prejudicial, 

853.  In  harbor,  where  there  is  no  danger  from  sharks,  the  men  may 
bathe;  but  nut  more  than  ten  at  a  time,  and  attended  by  a  boat. 

854.  In  fitting  up  a  vessel  for  the  transportation  of  horses,  care  is  to 
betaken  that  the  requisite  arrangements  are  mado  for  conveniently 
feeding  and  cleaning  them,  and  to  secure  them  from  injury  in  rough 
weather  by  ropes  attached  to  breast-straps  and  breeching,  or  by  other 
suitable  means  ;  and  especially  that  proper  ventilation  is  provided  by 
openings  in  the  upper  deck,  wind-sails,  &c.  The  ventilation  of  steamers 
may  be  assisted  by  using  the  engine  for  that  purpose. 

855.  Horses  should  not  be  put  on  board  after  severe  exei'cise  or  when 
heated.  In  hoisting  them  on  board,  the  slings  should  be  made  fast  to 
a  hook  at  the  end  of  the  fall,  or  the  knot  tied  by  an  expert  seaman,  so 
that  it  may  be  well  secured  and  easily  loosened.  The  horse  should  be 
run  up  quickly  to  prevent  him  from  plunging,  and  should  be  steadied 
by  guide  ropes,  A  halter  is  placed  on  him  before  he  is  lifted  from  the 
ground. 

856.  On  board,  care  is  to  be  taken  that  the  horses  ar«  not  overfgd ; 
bran  should  form  part  of  their  ration.  The  face,  eyes,  and  nostrils  of 
each  horse  are  to  be  washed  at  the  usual  stable  hours;  and  occasionally, 
the  manges  should  be  washed  and  the  nostrilsof  the  horse  sponged  with 
vinegar  and  water. 

857.  In  loading  vessels  with  stores  for  a  military  expedition,  the  car- 
go of  each  should  be  composed  of  an  assortment  of  such  stores  as  may 
be  available  for  service  in  case  of  the  non-arrival  of  others,  and  they 
should  be  placed  on  board  in  such  a  manner  that  they  may  be  easily

reached,  in  the  order  in  which  they  are  required  for  service.  Each 
store-sliip  should  be  marked,  at  the  bow  and  stern,  on  both  sides,  in 
large  characters,  with  a  distinctive  letter  and  number.  A  list  is  to  be 
made  of  the  stores  on  board  of  each  vessel,  and  of  the  place  where  they 
are  to  be  found  in  it;  a  copy  of  this  list  to  be  sent  to  the  chief  officer  of 
the  proper  departmeiit  in  the  expedition,  or  at  the  place  of  destination.

ber that  can  be  assembled  without  manifest  injury  to  the  service,  is  con-

No  other  oflBcers  than  those  named  can  be  assembled  without  mani- 
fest injury  to  the  service. 

By  order  of ,  commanding  . 

J  Assistant  Adjutant-General. 

802;  In  the  detail  the  members  will  be  named,  and  they  will  take 
place  in  the  co\irt,  in  the  order  of  their  rank.  A  decision  of  the  pro- 
per authority  in  regard  to  the  rank  of  the  members  cannot  be  reversed 
by  tiie  court. 

863,  The  place  of  holding  a  court  is  appointed  by  the  authority  con- 
vening it. 

804.  Application  for  delay  or  postponement  of  trial  must,  when  prac- 
ticable, 1)0  made  to  the  authority  convening  the  court.  When  made  to 
the  court,  it  must  be  before  pica,  and  will  then,  if  in  the  opinion  of  the 
court  well  founded,  bo  reforrpd  to  the  authority  convening  the  court,  to 
decide  whether  the  court  shall  be  adjourned  or  dissolved,  and  the  charges 
reserved  for  another  court. 

8G5.  •Upi)n  application  by  the  accused  fur  postponement  on  the  ground 
of  absence  of  witness,  it  ought  distinctly  to  appear  on  his  oath,  1st,  that

the  witness  is  material,  and  how ;  2cl,  that  the  accused  has  used  due 
diligence  to  procure  his  attendance,  and  3d,  tliat  he  has  reasonable 
c;rMimd  to  l>elieve,  and  dnps  helievp,  that  he  will  be  able  to  procure  such 
attoiidance  within  a  reasonable  lime  stated. 

8G6.  The  President  of  a  cnurt-martial,  besides  his  duties  and  privi- 
lejres  as  member,  is  the  organ  of  the  court,  to  keep  order  and  conduct 
its  business.  __  lie  speaks  and  acts  for  the  court  in  each  case  where  tlie 
rule  lias  been  prescribed  by  law,  re<iulation,  or  its  own  vosolutiim.  In 
all  their  delilierations  the  law  secures  the  equality  of  the  members. 

867.  The  76th  Article  of  War  does  not  confer  on  a  court-martial  the 
power  to  punish  its  owmiiembers.  Fur  disorderly  conduct,  a  member 
is  liable  as  in  other  offences  against  military  discipline  ;  improper  words 
{ire  to  be  taken  down,  and  any  disorderly  conduct  of  a  member  reported 
to  tlie  authority  convenin/^  the  court. 

868.  The  Judge  Advocate  shall  summon  the  necessary  witnesses  for 
the  trial ;  but  he  shall  not  summon  any  witness  at  the  expense  of  the 
Confederate  States,  nor  any  officer  of  the  army,  without  the  order  of  the 
court,  unless  satisfied  that  his  testimony  is  material  and  necessary  to 
the  ends  of  justice. 

861).  Every  court-martial  shall  keep  a  complete  and  accurate  record 
of  its  proceedinjrs,  to  be  autheniicatedi)y  the  signatures  of  the  Presi- 
dent and  Judge  Advocate,  who  shall  also  certify,  in  like  manner,  the 
sentence  pronounced  by  the  court  in  each  case.  The  record  must  shotv 
that  the  court  was  organized  as  the  law  requires  ;  that  the  court  and 
Judge  Advocate  were  duly  sworn  in  the  presence  of  the  prisoner;  that 
he  was  previously  asked  whether  he*had  objection  to  any  member,  and 
his  answer  thereto.  A  copy  of  the  order  appointing  the  court  will  be 
entered  im  the  record  in  each  case. 

870.  \yhenever  the  same  court-martial  tries  more  prisoners  than  one, 
and  they  are  arraigned  on  separate  and  distinct  charges,  the  court  is  to 
be  sworn  at  the  commenceihent  of  each  trial,  and  the  proceedings  in 
each  case  will  be  made  up  separately. 

871.  The  record  shall  be  clearly  and  legibly  written  ;  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable, without  erasures  or  interlineations,  the  pages  to  be  numbered, 
with  a  margin  of  one  inch  on  the  left  side  of  each  page,  and  at  the  top 
of  the  odd  and  bottom  of  the  even  pages  ;  through  this  last  margin  the 
sheets  to  be  stitched  together  ;  the  documents  accompanying  the  pro- 
ceedings to  be  noted  and  marked  in  such  a  manner  a^  to  afford  an  easy 
reference.  • 

872.  No  recommendation  will  ])e  embraced  in  the  body  of  the  sen- 
tence. Those  members  only  who  concur  in  the  recommendation  will 
sign  it. 

873.  The  legal  punishments  for  soldiers  by  sentence  of  a  court-martial 
according  to  the  offence,  and  the  jurisdiction  of  the  court,  are — death; 
corporeal  punishment  by  flogging ;  confinement;  confinement  on  bread 
and  v.-ater  diet;  solitary  confinement;  hard  labor;  ball  and  chain;  for- 
feiture of  pr:y  and  allowances;  discharges  from  service;  and  reprimands. 
Solitary  coi.linement,  or  confinement  on  bread  and  water,  shall  not  ex- 
ceed fourteen  days  at  a  time,  with  intervals  between  the  periods  of  such 
confinement  not  less  than  such  periods,  and  not  exceeding  eighty-four 
days  in  one  year. 

874.  A  court-martial  cannot  assign  and  make  over  the  pay  of  a  sol- 


COURTS-MARTIAL — WORKINQ   TARTIES.  89 

dier  to  any  other  person,  and  the  receipt  of  such  person  will  not  be  a 
sufficient  voucher  for  the  disbursing  officer.  Nor  can  a  soldier  be  re- 
quired to  receipt  for  money  piiid  without  hia  consent  to  another  person. 
The  law  prohibits  any  receipt  or  voucher  in  accounts  of  public  money, 
unless  the  full  auiount  of  the  receipt  is  paid  to  the  party  wiio  sipjned  it. 

875,  The  jurisdiction  and  autliority  of  courts-martial  are  the  same 
with  reference  to  Ordnance  Sergeants  and  Hospital  Stewards  as  in  the 
cases  of  other  enlisted  men.  When,  however,  an  Ordnance  Serjeant 
or  Hospital  Steward  is  sentenced  by  an  inferior  court  to  be  reduced  to 
the  raniis,  such  sentence,  though  it  may  be  approved  by  the  reviewing 
ofiicer,  will  not  be  carried  into  effect  until  the  case  has  been  referred  to 
the  Secretiiry  of  War  for  final  action.  In  these  cases  of  reduction,  the 
application  of  the  man  for  discliarf;e  from  service,  though  not  recogni- 
zed as  a  right,  will  generally  be  regarded  with  favor,  if  his  offence  has 
not  been  of  too  serious  a  nature,  and  especially  where  he  has  not  been 
recently  promoted  from  tlie  ranks. 

87G.  The  Judge  Advocate  shall  transmit  the  proceedings,  without  de- 
lay, to  the  officer  having  authority  to  confirm  the  sentence,  who  shall 
state,  at  the  end  of  the  proceedings  in  each  case,  his  decision  and  orders 
thereon. 

877.  The  original  procfiedings  of  all  general  courts-martial,  after  the 
decision  on  them  of  the  reviewitig  authority,  and  all  proceediniis  that 

.  require  the  decision  of  the  President  under  the  G5th  and  89th  Articles  of 
War,  and  eofiies  of  all  orders  confirming  or  disproving,  or  remitting 
the  sentences  of  courts-martial,  and  all  ofiicial  communications  for  the 
Judge  Advocate  of  the  army,  will  be  addressed  to  ^'The  Ailjutant  and 
Inspecior  General  6f  the  Army,  War  Department,"  marked  on  the  cover, 
"  Judge  Advocate." 

878.  The  proceedings  of  garrison  and  regimental  courts-martial  will 
be  transmitted  without  delay,  by  the  garrison  or  regimental  comnnin- 
der,  to  the  department  headquarters  for  tfie  supervision  of  the  depart- 
ment commander,  * 

870.  The  power  to  pardon  or  nntigate  the  punishment  ordered  by  a 
court-martial,  is  vested  in  the  authority  confirming  the  proceedings,  and 
in  the  President  of  the  Confederate  States.  A  superior  military  com- 
mander to  the  officer  ccmfirming  the  proceedhigs  may  suspend  the  exe- 
cution of  the  sentence  when,  in  his  judgment,  it  is  void  upon  the  face 
of  the  proceedings,  or  when  ho  sees  a  fit  case  for  executive  clemency-. 
In  such  cases,  the  record,  with  his  order  prohiliiting  the  execution,  shall 
be  transmitted  for  the  final  orders  of  the  President. 

880.  When  a  court-martial  or  court  of  inquiry  adjourns  without  day, 
the  members  will  return  to  their  respective  posts  and  duties,  unless 
otherivise  ordered. 

881.  When  a  court  adjourns  for  three  days,  the  Judge  Advocate  shall 
report  the  fact  to  the  commander  of  the  post  or  troops,  and  the  mo  li- 
bers belonging  to  the  command  will  be  liable  to  duty  during  the  time. 

ARTICLE  XXXIX. 

WORKING    PARTIES. 

882.  When  it  is  necessary  to  employ  the  army  at  work  on  fortifica- 
tions, in  ijurveys,  in  cutting  roads,  and  other  constant  labor  of  not  less 


90  WORKING   PARTIES — PUBLIC   PROPERTY,   AC. 

than  ten  days,  the  noncommissioned  officers  and  soldiers  so  employed 
are  enrolled  as  extra-duty  men,  and  are  allowed  twenty-live  cents  a  day 
when  employed  as  laborers  and  teamsters,  and  forty  cents  a  day  when 
employed  as  mechanic.s,  at  all  stations  east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains, 
and  thirty-five  and  fifty  cents  per  day,  respectively,  at  all  stations  west 
of  those  mountains. 

883.  Enlisted  men  of  the  Ordnance  and  Engineer  Departments,  and 
artificers  of  artillery,  are  not  entitled  to  this  allowance  when  employed 
in  their  appropriate  work., 

884.  Soldiers  will  not  be  employed  as  extra-duty  men  for  any  labor 
in  camp  or  garrison  which  can  properly  be  performed  by  fatigue  par- 
ties. 

885.  No  extra-duty  men,  except  fliose  required  for  the  ordinary  ser- 
vice of  the  Quartermaster,  Commissary,  and  Medical  Departments,  and 
saddlers  in  mounted  companies,  will  be  employed  without  previous  au- 
thority from  department  headquarters,  except  in  case  of  necessity, 
which  shall  be  promptly  reported  to  the  department  commander. 

886.  Extia-duty  pay  of  a  saddler  in  a  mounted  company  will  be 
charged  on  the  company  muster-roll,  ta  be  paid  by  the  Quartermaster 
and  refunded  by  the  Ordnance  Department.  Extra-duty  pay  of  cooks 
and  nurses  in  the  hospital  service  will  be  paid  by  the  Quartermaster,  in 
the  absence  of  a  noedical  disbursing  officer,  and  refunded  by  the  Medi- 
cal Department.  The  extra  pay  of  cooks  and  nurses  will  be  charged* 
on  hospital  muster-rolls. 

887.  The  officer  commanding  a  working  party  will  conform  to  the 
directions  and  pli>ns  of  the  engineer  or  other  officer  directing  the  work, 
without  regard  to  rank. 

888.  A  day's  work  shall  not  exceed  ten  hours  in  summer,  nor  eight 
in  winter.  Soldiers  are  paid  in  proportion  for  any  greater  number  of 
hours  they  are  employed  ea(^  day.  Summer  is  considered  to  commence 
on  the  1st  of  April,  and  winter  on  the  1st  of  October. 

889.  Although  the  necessities  of  the  service  may  require  soldiers  to 
be  ordered  on  working  parties  as  a  duty,  commanding  officers  are  to 
bear  in  mind  that  fitness  for  military  service  by  instruction  and  disci- 
pline is  the  object  for  which  the  army  is  kept  on  foot,  and  that  they  are 
not  to  employ  the  troop§  when  not  in  the  field,  and  especially  the. 
mounted  troops,  in  labors  that  interfere  with  their  military  duties  and 
exercises,  except  in  cases  of  immediate  necessity,  which  shall  be  forth- 
with reported  for  the  orders  of  the  War  Department. 

ARTICLE  XL.

the  Confederate  States  fully  to  account  for  all  monies  and  public  pror 
perty  which  they  may  receive,  in  such  sums  as  the  Secretary  of  War 
shall  direct;  and  the  officers  aforesaid  shall  renew  their  bonds  every

and  liabilities,  the  amount  of  the  bond,  or  such  other  sum  as  he  may 
specify,  and  each  surety  shall  state  his  place  of  residence. 

892.  The  chiefs  of  disbursing  departments  who  submit  requisitions 
for  money  to  be  remitted  to  disbursing  officers,  shall  take  care  that  no 
more  money  than  is  actually  netded  is  in  the  hands  of  any  officer. 

893.  Tiie  Treasury  Department  havir.g  provided,  by  arrangement 
with  the  Assistant  Treasurers  at  various  points,  secure  depivsitories  for 
funds  in  the'  hands  of  disbursing  oflicers,  all  disbursing  officers  are 
req^uired  to  avail  tliemselves,  as  far  as  possible,  of  this  arrangement, 
by  depositing  with  the  Assistant  Treasurers  such  funds  as  are  not 
wanted  for  immediate  use,  and  drawing  the  same  in  coDTenient  sums 
as  wanted. 

•  .  894.  No  public  funds  shall  be  exchanged  except  for  gold  and  silver. 
When  the  funds  furnished  are  gold  and  silver,  all  payments  shall  be  in 
gold  and  silver.  When  the  funds  furnislied  are  drafts,  they  shall  be 
presented  at  the  place  of  payment,  and  paid  according  to  law  ;  and 
payments  shall  be  made  in  the  funds  so  received  for  the  drafts,  unless 
said  funds  or  said  drafts  can  be  exchanged  for  gold  and  silver  at  par. 
If  any  disbursing  officer  jshall  violate  any  of  these  provisions,  he  shall 
be  suspended  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  and  reported  to  the  President, 
and  promptly  removed  from  othce  or  restored  to  his  trust  and  duties,  as

SUBSISTENCE   DEPARTMENT. 
SUPPLIES. 

■  1097.  Subsistence  stores  for  the  army,  unless  in  particular  and  urgent 
cases  the  Secretary  of  War  whall  otherwise  direct,  shall  "be  procured  by 
contr-act,  to  be  made  by  the  Commissary-General  on  public  notice,  to  be 
(ielivei-ed  on  inspection  in  the  balk,  and  at  such  places  as  shall  be' stipu- 
rated  ;  the  inspector  to  give  duplicate  inspection  certificates  (see  Eorm 
Nc  15),  and  to  be  a  legal  inspector  where  there  is  such  officer. 

1098.  Purchases^  to  supply  such  corps  and  posts  as  by  reason  of  thoir 
position,  the  climate,  or  for  other  sufficient  cause  the  Secretary  of  War 
aiay  specially  direct  to  be  supplied  in  that  way,  will  be  made  in  open 
market,  on  public  notice,  from  the  lowest 'bidder  who  produces  the 
proper  article. 

1019.  And  whenever  a  deficiency  of  subsistence  stores  make  it  neces- 
•sarv  to  buy  them,  the  commissary,  where  they  are  needed,  will  make 
n  requisition  for  that  purpose  on  the  proper  purchasing  commissary,  or 
buy  them  himself,  of  good  quality,  corresponding  with  the  contract. 

ilOO.  When  subsistence  is  received  under  contract,  the  commissary 
will  i^eceipt  for  it  on  the  inspection  certificates  (see. Form  No.  15).  He 
will  deliver  one  of  these  to  the  contractor,  and  forward  the  other  to  the 
Commispary-General,  with  a  report  on  the  quality  of  the  provisions  aJid 
the  condition  of  the  packages. 

1101.  Whenever  subsistence  stores  are  purchased,  the  advertisements- 
and  bids,  and  a  copy  of  the  bill  of  purchase,  with  a  statement  of  the 

■  cause  of  purchase,  will  be  forwarded  by  the  purchasing  officer  to  the 
CSonunissary-General.  This  rule  does  not  apply  to  the  ordinary  pur- 
chase of  hospital  supplies.  Pork,  salt  beef,  and  flour  must  be  inspected 
before  purchase  bj  a  legal  inspector  where  there  is  such  oflBcer.  Dupli- 
cate certificates  of  inspection  (see  Form  No.  15)  will  be  taken  as  sub- 
vouchers  to  the  vouchers  for  the  payment.  . 

1102.  Fresh  beef,  when  it  can  be  procured,  shall  be  furnished  as  often 
as  the  commanding  officer  may  order,  at  least  twice  a  week,  to  be  pro- 
cured by  the  commissary,  when  practicable,  by  contract.  (For  form  of 
contract  and  bond,  see  Forms  27  and- 28.)     When   beef  is  taken  on  the 

.  hoof,  it  will  be  accounted  for  on  the  provision  return  by  the  number  of 
cattle  a,nd  their  estimated  weight.  When  the  pasture  is  insufficient, 
hay,  corn,  and  otiier  forage  will  be  procured  for  public  cattle. 

1103.  Good  and  suflicient  store-room  for  the  subsistence  stores  will 
be  procured  by  the  commissary  from  the  Quartermaster,  Care  shall  be 
taken  to  keep  the  store-rooms  dry  and  ventilated.  Packages  shall  be  so 
stored  as  to  allow  circulation  of  air  among  and  beneath  them.  The 
flour  should  occasionally  be  rolled  into  the  air. 

1104.  Before  submittiig  damaged  commissary  stores  to  boards  of 
survey,  the  commissary  shall  separate  and  re-pack  sound  parts. 

1105.  Wastage  on  issues,  or  from  evaporation  cr  leakage,  will  be  as- 
certained quarterly,  or  when  it  can  be  most  conveniently  ;  and  the  ac- 
tual wastage  thus  found  will  be  charged  on  the  monthly  return.  Loss, 
from  whatever  cause,  exceeding. ordinary  waste,  must  be  accounted  for 
by  the  certificate  of  an  officer,  or  other  satisfactory  evidence.  Ordi- 
nary waste  on  isi^ues  should  not  exceed,  Gay  10  per  cent,  on  pork,  bacon.

sugar,  vinegar,  and  soap,  and  5  per  cent,  on  hard  bread,  beans,  rice, 
coffee,  and  salt, 

1106.  No  wastage  is  admitted  on  issues  of  fresh  beef  furnished  the 
compacy  detachment,  or  regiment,  directly  ffom  the  butcher.  But  in 
beef  on  the  hoof,  errors  in  estimated  weight,  and  losses  on  cattlfi  strayed 
or  stolen,  will  he  accounted  for  by  tlie  certificate  of  an  officer,  6r  other 
satisfactory  evidence.  When  cattle  are  transferred,  they  should  bo  ap- 
praised, and  less  in  weight  reported  as  wastage  by  the  officer  delivering 
them.  Fair  wastage  in  transportation  of  stores  is  accounted  for  by  the 
receiving  oflBcer. 

THE    RATION. 

1107.  The  ration  is  three-fourths  of  a  pound  of  pork  or  bacon,  or  on© 
and  a  fourth  pounds  of  fre^h  or  salt  beef;  eighteen  ounces  of  bread  or

1109.  On  a  campaign,  or  on  marches,  or  on  board  of  triutsports,  the

1110.  Returns  for  issues  to  companies,  will,  when  practicable,  Ije  con- 
solidated for  the  post  or  regiment  (see  Form  14).  At  the  end  of  the 
month,  the  issuing  commissary  will  make  duplicate  abstracts  of  the 
issues,  which  the  commanding  officer  will  compare  with  the  original 
returns,  and  certify  (see  Form  2).  This  abstract  is  n  voucher  of  the 
issue  for  the  monthly  return. 

1111.  Issues  to  the  iiospital  will  1x5  on  returns  by  the  medical  oflRcer,

attendants.  The  ccst  of  such  parts  of  the  ration  as  are  issued  will  be 
charged  to  the  hospital  at  contract  or  cost  prices,  and  the  hospital  will 
be  Credited  by  the  whole  number  of  complete  rations  due  through  the 
month  at  contract  or  cost  prices  (see  Note  7)  ;  the  balance,  constituting 
the  Hospital  Fund,  or  any  portion  of  it,  may  be  expended  by  the  com- 
missary, on  the  refjuisition  of  the  medical  officer,  in  the  purchase  of  any 
article  for  the  subsistence  or  comfort  of  the  sick,  not  authorized  to  be 
otherwise  furnished  (sec  Form  3).  At  large <lepots  or  general  hospitals, 
this  iund  may  bo  partly  expended  for  the  ijcrieHt  of  dependent  posts  or 
detachments,  on  requisitions  approved  by  the  medical  director  or  senior 
Surgeon  of  the  distridl. 

1112.  The  articles  purchased  for  the  hospital,  as  well  ns  those  issued 
from  the  subsistence  store-house,  will  be  included  in  the  Surgeon's  cer- 
tificates of  issues  to  the  hospital,  and  borne  on  the  monthly  return  of 
provisions  received  and  issued.  Vouchers  for  purchases  for  the  hospital

plied by  the  subsistence  department  for  the  use  of  the  hospital,  will  be

commuted,  and  they  can  only  draw  them  at  a  military  post  or  statioc 
where  there  are  supplies. 

1115.  When  provisions  can  be  spared  from  the  military  supplies, 
commanding  officers  have  discretion  to  order  issues  to  Indians  visiting 
military  posts  on  the  frontiers,  or  in  their  respective  nations,  and  to 
order  sales  of  subsistence  to  Indian  agents  for  issues  to  Indians.  The 
returns  forissues,  where  there  is  no  Indian  agent,  will  be  signed  by  the 
commanding  oSccr.  The  sales  will  be  for  cash,  at  cost,  including  all

for  public  horses  and  cattle.  When  the  officers  of  the  Medical  Depart- 
jnent  find  anti-scorbutics  necessary  for  the  liealth  of  the  troops,  the  com- 
manding officer  may  order  issues  of  fresh  vegetables,  pickled  onions, 
sour  krout  or  molasses,  with  an  extra  quantity  of  rice  and  vinegar. 
(Potatoes  are  usually  issued  at  the  rate  of  one  pound  per  ration,  aad 
onions  at  the  rate  of  three  bushels  in  lieu  of  one  of  beans.)  Occasional 
issues  (extra)  of  molasses  are  made — two  quarts  to  one  hundred 
rations — and  of  dried  apples,  of  from  one  to  one  and  a  half  bushels  to 
one  hundred  rations.  Troops  als  sea  are  recommended  to  draw  rice  and

.1142.  Lieutenants,  acting  as  Assistant  Commissaries  of  Subsistenc&> 
are  allowed  $20  per  month  for  such  services,  to  be  paid  by  the  Pay  De>- 
partment,  on  accounts  certified  to  by  the  Comnussary-Genieral,  to  th© 
effect  that  proper  I'eturns  were' rendered  for  the  period  charged  for. 

1143.  A  Regimental  or  Depot  Commissary  of  Subsistence  may  pur- 
chase, at  first  cost  price,  of  the  Captains  or  commanding  officers  of  com- 
panies, in  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  such  articles  or  parts 
of  the  ration  as  are  not  drawn,  nor  consumed.  But  this  applies  only 
to  such  articles  as  were  actually  issued  and  not  consumed,  or  would  ac- 
tually have  been  issued,  and  does  not  apply  to  saeh  parts  of  the  ration 
as  the  Commissary  does  not  habitually  have  on  hand  for  issue. 

1144.  The  accounts  for  sucli  purchases  will'  be  made  in  duplicate, 
(see  Form  No.  19,)  and  the  articles  will  be  taken  up  by  the  Commissa- 
ry Qn  his_  monthly  return,  as  if  it  'vere  an  original  purchase.  Tho 
money  paid  to  the  Ca^itaius  constitutes  a  eompany  fund.

tence  will  bo^ent  to  the^Commissary-General's  office  through  the  prin- 
cipal Commissary  of  Subsistence  of  the  Military  Department  in  which 
the  eontract  is  made.   The  place  of  vesidmce  of  enoh  surety  to  the  boad 


SUBSISTENCE   DEPARTMENT.  •  199 

must  be  named  therein  with  particularity.  Where  the  form  is  pi*e- 
scribed  it  will  be  followed  ;  in  all  cases  contracts  must  be  drawn  up  and 
executed  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  law.  Every  contract,  whether 
for  services  or  for  the  furnishing  of  supplies,  which  contemplates  a  par- 
tial performance,  from  time  to  time,  continuing  until  the  whole  duty  is 
performed,  or  the  whole  delivery  of  the  enumerated  articles  is  effected, 
must  provide  in  express  terms  for  its  earlier  termination,  if  the  Com- 
missary-General shall  so  direct. 

1146.  Estimates  for  funds  must  be  rendered  in  duplicate. 

1147.  In  order  to  establish  an  invariable  rule  for  ascertaining  the 
nett  weight  of  beef  cattle  received  on  the  hoof,  the  following  mode  is 
adopted,  and  for  the  future,  in  all  cases  will  be  observed : 

1.  When  practicable,  cattle  presented  for  acceptance  must  be  weigh- 
ed upon  the  scales.  From  the  live  weight  of  a  steer,  thus  ascertained, 
his  nett  weight  shall  be  determined  by  deducting  forty-five  per  centum, 
when  his  gross  weight  exceeds  thirteen  hundred  (1300)  pounds,  and 
fifty  per  centum  when  it  is  less  than  that,,  and  not  under  eight  hundred 
(800)  pounds. 

2.  When  it  is  impracticable  to  weigh  upon  the  scales,  one  or  more 
average  steers  must  be  selected,  killed  and  dressed  in  the  usual  manner.- 
The  average  nett  weight  of  these  (neck  and  shanks  excluded)  will  be 
accepted  as  the  average  nett  weight  of  the  herd.  In  all  written  instru- 
ments for  the  delivery  of  cattle  on  the  hoof,  the  manner  prescribed 
above,  for  ascertaining  nett  weight,  must,  in  express  terms,  be  inserted  ; 
in  verbal  agreements,  it  must  be  understood  and  accepted  by  the  party 
delivering  the  cattle.  Vouchers  for  the  payments  of  cattle  will  state 
the  manner  pursued  in  determining  their  nett  weight,  except  where 
payment  has  been  made  on  the  certificate  of  an  ofl&cer,  in  which  case 
the  certificate  will  state  the  mode  followed. 

3.  With  a  view  to  the  prevention  of  losses  now  so  frequently  occur- 
ring, from  over-estimating  the  weight  of  cattle  received  on  the  hoof,  the 
serious  attention  of  officers  and  agents  serving  in  this  department  is 
specially  called  to  the  exercise  of  greater  care  in  the  discharge  of  this 
important  duty. 

1148.  When  fresh  beef  can  be  provided,  it  will  be  issued  to  the  troops 
five  times  per  week.  When  the  circumstances  are  favorable,  and  it  can 
be  done  with  advantage  to  the  Government,  the  Subsistence  Department 
will  keep  beef  cattle  to  supply  the  issues. 

1149.  The  following  issues  and  substitutions  maybe  made:  Whpn, 
from  excessive  fatigue  or  exposure,  the  commanding  officer  may  deem 
it  necessary,  he  may  direct  the  issue  of  whiskey  to  the  enlisted  men  of 
his  command,  not  to  exceed  a  gill  per  man  for  each  day.  Tea  may  bo 
issued  in  lieu  of  coffee,  at  the  rate  of  one  and  a  half  pounds  per  one 
hundred  rations.  Two  "issues"  per  week  of  "desiccated  vegetables" 
may  be  made  in  lieu  of  "  beans"  or  "  rice."  Potatoes  and  onions,  when 
issued,  will  always  be  in  lieu  of  rice  or  beans.  Potatoes  at  the  rate  of 
a  pound  per  ration  ;  onions  at  the  rate  of  three  pecks  per  hundred  ra- 
tions.

I  certify,  on  honor,  that  I  have  carefully  compared  the  above  "abstract"  with  the 
seventy  eight  rations  of  pork,  five  hundred  and  fifty  two  rations  of  fresh  beef,  fourteen 
•rations  of  rice,  nine  hundred  and  thirty-four  rations  of  coffee,  sixteen  hundred  and  six- 
and  thirty-two  .rations  of  candles,  fifteen  hundred  and  thirty  two  rations  of  soap,  eight

RECRUITING    SERVICE. 


ARTICLE  XLVr. 


RECRUITING   SERVICE. 


1383.  The  recruiting  service  will  be  conducted  by  the  Adjutaut  and 
Inspector  General,  under  the  direction  of  the  Secretary  of  War. 

1384.  Field  officers  will  be  detailed  to  superintend  the  recruiting  dis- 
tricts, and  lieutenants  to  take  charge  of  the  recruiting  parties.  The  re- 
cruiting service  will  form  a  special  roster.  The  Adjutant  and  Inspec- 
tor General  will  detail  the  field  "officers,  and  announce  in  orders  the 
number  of  lieutenants  to  be  detailed  from  each  regiment  by  its  Colonel. 
When  tiie  detail  is  not  according  to  the  roster,  the  special  reason  of  the 
case  shall  be  reported  and  laid  before  the  Secretary  of  War. 

1385.  A  recruiting  party  will  consist  generally  of  one  lieutenant,  one 
non-commissioned  officer,  two  privates,  and  u  drummer  and  fifer.  The 
parties  will  be  sent  from'  the  principal  depots,  and  none  but  suitable 
men  selected. 

1380.  Officers  on  the  general  recruiting  service  are  not  to  be  ordered 
on  any  other  duty,  except  from  the  Adjutant  General's  Office. 

DUTIES    OF   SUPERINTENDENTS, 

1387.  As  soon  as  a  recruiting  station  is  designated,  the  superinten- 
dent sends  estimates  for  funds  to  the  Adjutant  General,  and  .requisitions 
on  the  proper  departments '(through  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  Gene- 
ral) for  cUithing,  camp  equipage,  arms,  and  accoutrements. 

1388.  Subsequent  supplies  for  the  stations  in  his  district  are  procured 
by  the  superintendent  on  consolidated  estimates  ;  these  ftre  made  quar- 
terly for  funds,  and  every  six  or  twelve  months  for  clothing,  equipage, 
arms,  and  accoutrements.  Estimates  for  funds  will  be  in  the  following 
form  ;

1389.  Funds  and  supplies  of  clothing,  camp  and  garrison  equipage,' 
arms  and  accoutrements,  when  ordered,  will  be  sent  direct  to  each  sta- 
tion, 

1390.  The  superintendents  will  transmit  to  tho  Adjutant  Inspector 
General  consolidated  monthly  returns  of  the  recruiting  parties  under 
their  superintendence,  according  to  directions  on  the  printed  blanks, 
accompanied  by  one  copy  of  tlie  enlistment  of  each  recruit,  enlisted 
witliin  the  month.  Also  a  quarterly  return  of  deceased  soLuers  to  tbo 
Adjutant  Inspector  General  and  Second  Auditor. 

1391.  When  recruits  should  be  sent  to  regiments,  a  superintendent 
will  report  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  for  instructions  in 
reference  thereto. 

1392.  When  recruits  are  sent  from  a  depot  or  rendezvous  to  a  regi- 
ment or  post,  a  muster  and  descriptive  roll,  and  an  account  of  clothing  of 
the  detachment,  will  be  given  to  the  officer  assigned  to  the  command  of 
it;  and  a  duplicate  of  the  muster  and  descriptive  roll  will  be  forwarded 
to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  by  the  superintendent,  who  will 
note  on  it  the  names  of  all  the  officfirs  on  duty  with  the  detachment,  j^nd 
the  day  of  its  departure  from  the  depot  or  rendazvous. 

1393.  The  superintendent  will  report  all  commissioned  or  non-Tjom- 
mivssioned  officers  who  may  be  incapable  or  negligent  in  the  discharge 
of  their  functions.  Where  a  recruiting  party  fails  to  get  recruits  from 
any  cause  other  than  the  fault  of  the  officer,  the  superintendent  will 
recommend  another  station  for  the  party. 

1394.  When  a  rendezvous  is  closed,  the  superintendent  will  give  the 
necessary  instructions  for  the  safe-keeping  or  disposal  of  the  public 
property,  so  as  not  to  involve  any  exjiense  for  storage. 

1395.  Tours  of  inspection  by  superintendents  will  be  made  only  on 
instructions  from  tke  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  Office.  Officers 
on  the  recruiting  service  will  not  be  sent  from  place  to  place  without 
orders  from  the  same  source- 

DUTIES  OF   RECRUrriNG    OFFICERS, 

1396.  Success  in  obtaining  recruits  depends  much  on  the  activity 
and  personal  attention  of  recruiting  officers,  and  tliey  will  not  entrust 
to  enlieted  men  the  duties  for  which  themselves  only  are  responsible. 
They  will  in  no  case  absent  theniselvea  from  their  stations  without  au-- 
thority  from  the  superintendent. 

1397.  Recruiting  officers  will  not  allow  nny  mart  to  be  deceived  or  in- 
veigled into  the  service  by  false  representations,  but  will  in  person  ex- 
plain the  nature  of  the  service,  the  length  of  the  term,  the  pay,  cloth- 
ing, ration?,  and  other  allowances  to  which  a  soldier  is  entitled  by  law, 
to  every  man  before  he  signs  the  enlistment.  If  minors  present  them- 
selves, they  are  to  be  treated  with  great  candor  ;  the  names  and  resi- 
dences-of  their  parchts  or  guardians,  if  they  have  any,  niusfhe  ascer- 
tained, and  they  will  be  infunned  of  the  minor's  wish  to  enlist,  that 
they  m  ly  make  their  objections  or  give  their  consent. 

1398.  With  the  sanction  cf  superintendents,  r'jcruiting  officers  may 
inser»  in  not  exceeding  two  newspupere,  brief  notices  directing  atten- 
tion to  the  rendezvous  for  further  information. 

-1399.  Any  free  white  male  nerson  above  the  age  of  eigliteen  andun- 
'  der  thirty-five  years,  being  at  least  five  feet  four  and  a  half  inches  high, 
17 


||^6  RECRtiTING     SERYICE-  ^ 

eflPective,  able-bodied',  sober,  free  from  disease,  of  good  character  and 
habits,  and  aible  to  speak  and  understand  tw/Hlio  English  language, 
may  be  enlisted.  This  regulation,  so  far  as  respects  the  height  and  age 
of  the  recruit,  shall  not  extend  to  musicians,  or  to  soldiers  who  may 
••  reenlisfc,"  or  have  served  honestly  and  faithfully  a  previous  enlist- 
ment in  the  array. 

1400.  No  person  under  the  ag3  of  twenty-one  years  is  to  be  enlisted 
without  the  written  consent  of  his  parent,  guardian,  or  master.  The 
recruiting  officer  must  be  very  particular  in  ascertaining  the  true  age 
of  the  recruit,  and  will  not  accept  him  when  there  is  n  doubt  of  his 
being  of  age. 

1401.  After  the  nature  of  the  service  and  terms  of  enlistment  have 
been  fairly  explained  to  the  recruit,  the  officer,  ])efore  the  .enlistments 
are  filled  up,  will  read  to  him,  and  offer  for  his  signature,  the  annexed 
declaration,  to  be  appended  to  each  copy  of  his  enlistment : 

I, ,  desiring  to  enlist  in  the  Army  of  the  Confederate  Statea 

fov  the  period  of  five  years,  do  declare  that  I  am years  and 

months  of  age ;  that  I  have  neither  wife  nor  child;  that  I  have  never 
been  discharged  from  the  Confederate  States  service  on  account  of  dis- 
ability, or  bv  a  sentence  of  a  court  martial,  or  by  order  before  the  expi- 
ration of  a  t Min  of  enlistment ;  and  I  know  of  no  impediment  to  my 
serving  honetly  and  faithfully  ns  a  soldier  for  five  years. 


Witness ; 


1402.  If  the  recruit  be  a  minor,  his  parent,  guirdian,  or  master  must 
sign  a  consent  to  his  enlisting,  which  will  be  added  to  the  preceding 
declaration,  in  the  following  form  : 

I, ,  do  certify   that  I  am  the  [father  only  surviving  parent, 

legal  master,  or  guardian)  of ;  that  the  said  — —  is  — —  years  of 

age  ;  and  I  do  hereby  freely  give  my  consent  to  his  enlisting  as  a  soldier 
in  the  Ai'my  of  the  Confederate"  States  for  the  period  of  five  years. 

Witness:  ^ . 


1403.  The  forms  of  declaration,  and  of  consent  in  case  of  a  minor, 
having  been  signed  and  witnessed,  tiie  recruit  will  then  be  duly  in- 
spected by  the  recruiting  officer,  and  surgeon,  if  one  be  piessnt,  and 
if  accepted,  the  20th  and  87tli  Articles  of  War  will  be  read  to  liim  ; 
after  which  he  will  be  allowed  time  to  consider  the  subject  until  his 
mind  appears  to  be  fully  made  up  before  the  oath  is  administered  to 
film. 

1404.  As  soon  as  practicable,  and  at  least  within  six  days  after  his 
eDlistmcnt,  the  following  oath  will  be  administered  to  the  recruit: 

"I,  A —  B — ,  do  solemnly  swear  orafiBrm,  (as  the  case  may  be,)  that 
I  will  bear  true  allegiance  to  the.  Confederate  States  of  America,  and 
that  I  will  serve  them  honestly  and  faithfully  against  all  their  (jnemies 
or  opposers  whatsoever,  and  observe  and  obey  the  orders  of  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  Confederate  States,  and  the  orders  of  the  officers  appointed 
over  me,  according  to  the  rules  and  articles  for  the  jrovernment  of  the 
armies  of  the  Confederate  States.'     (See  10th  Art.  War.)

1406.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  recruiting  officer  to  bo  present  at  the  in- 
spection of  tiie  recruit  by  the  medical  ofiBcer.  In  passing  a  recruit  the

to  be  well  drilled  in  the  infantry  tactics,  through  the  school  of  the  sol- 
dier to  that  af  the  battalion,  and  in  the  exercise  of  field  and  garrison 
pieces.     Duty  is  to  !)e  done  according  to  the  strict  rules  of  service. 

1445.  The  general  superintendent  will  cause  such  of  the  recruits  as 
are  found  to  possess  a  natural  talent  for  music,  to  be  instructed  (besides 
the  drill  of  the  soldier)  on  the  fife,*  bugle  and  drum,  and  other  military 
instruments  ;  and  boys  of  twelve  years  of  age  and  upward  may,  under 
his  direction,  be  enlisted  for  this  purpose.  But  as  recruits  mider 
eighteen  years  of  age  and  under  size  must  be  discharged,  if  they  are 
not  capable  of  learning  music,  care  should  be  taken  to  enlist  these  only 
who  have  a  natural  talent  for  music,  and,  if  practicable,  they  should  be 
taken  on  trial  for  some  time  before  lacing  enlisted. 

1416.  Regiments  will  be  furnished  with  .field  music  on  the  requisi- 
tions of  their  commanders,  made,  from  time  to  time,  direct  on  the  gene- 
ral superintendent;  and  when  requested  by  regimental  commanders, 
the  superintendents  will  endeavor  to  have  suitable  men  selected  from 
the  recruits,  or  enlisted  for  the  regimental  bands. 

1447.  To  give  encouragement  to  the- recruits,  and  holdout  induce- 
ments to  good  conduct,  the  commanding  officer  of  the  depot  may  pro- 
mote such  of  them  to  be  lance  corporals  and  lance  sergeants  at  exhibit 
the  requisite  qualifications,  not  exceeding  the  proper  proportion  to  the 
number  of  recruits  at  the  depot.  These  appointments  will  be  an- 
nounced in  orders  in  the  usual  way,  and  will  be  continued  in  force  until 
they  join  their  regiments,  unless  sooner  revoked.  No  allowance  of  pay 
or  emolliments  is  to  be  assigned  to  these  appointments  ;  they  are  only 
to  be  considered  as  recommendations  to  the  captains  of  companies  and 
colonels  of  regiments  for  the  places  in  which  the  recruits  may  have 
acted  ;  but  such  non-commissioned  officers  are  to  be  treated  with  all  the 
respect  and  to  have  all  the  authority  which  may  belong  to  the  stations 
of  sergeant  and  corporal. 

1448.  Permanent  parties  at  depots,  and  recruiting  parties,  will  be 
mustered,  inspected,  and  paid  in  the  same  manner  as  other  soldiers. 
Hecruits  will  be  mustered  for  pay  only  at  depots,  and  "when  paid  there 
one  half  of  their  monthly  pay  will  be  retained  until  they  join  their  regi- 
ments. 

1449.  When  recruits  are  received  at  a  garrisoned  post,  the  command- 
ing officer  will  place  them  under  the  charge  of  a  commis'uoried  officer. 

1450.  Recruits  arc  not  to  bo  put  to  any  labor  or  wo  A  which  would 
interfere  witli  their  instruction,  nor  are  they  to  be  employed  otherwise 
than  as  soldiers,  in  the  regular  duties  of  garrison  and  camp. 

1451.  Every  enlisted  man  discharged  as  a  minor,  or  for  other  cause 


394  BKCRUITING   SERVICE. 

involving  fraud  on  his  part  in  the  enlistment,  or  discharged  by  the  civil 
authority,  shall  forfeit  all  pay  and  allowances  due  at  the  time  of  the 
discharge.  • 

•  1452.  The  Rules  and  Articles  of  War  are  to  be  read  to  the  recruits 
every  month,  after  the  inspection  ;  and  so  much  thereof  as  relates  to 
the  duties  of  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers  will  be  read  to 
them  every  week. 

INSPECTION   OF   RECRUITS   AT   DEPOTS   AND   POSTS. 

1453.  The  superintendent  or  commanding  officer  will  cause  a  minute 
and  critical  inspection  to  be  made  of  every  recruit  received  at  a  depot 
two  days  after  his  arrival ;  and  should  any  recruit  be  found  unfit  for 
service,  or  to  have  been  enlisted  contrary  to  law  or  regulations,  he  shall 
assemble  a  Board  of  Inspectors,  to  examine  into  the  case.  A  board 
may  also  be  assembled  in  a  special  case,  when  a  concealed  defect  may 
become  manifest  in  a  recruit,  at  any,  time  during  his  detention  at  the 
depot. 

1454.  Every  detachment  ordered  from  a  dopot  to  any  regiment  or 
post^hall,  immediately  preceding  its  departure,  be  critically  inspected 
by  the  superintendent  or  commanding  officer  and  surgeon  ;  and,  when 
necessary,  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  convened. 

1455.  Recruits  received  at  a  military  post^or  station  shall  be  carefully 
inspected  by  the  commanding  officer  and  surgeon,  on  the  third  day  after 
their  arrival  ;  and  if,  on  such  inspection,  any  recruit,  in  their  opinion, 
be  unsound  or  otherwise  defective  in  such  degree  as  to  disqualify  him 
for  the  duties  of  a  soldier,  then  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  assem- 
bled to  examine  into  and  report  on  the  case.  (See  paragraphs  1438, 
1439,  1440.) 

1456.  Boards  for  the  inspection  of  recruits  will  be  composed  of  the 
three  senior  regimental  officers  present  on  duty,  with  the  troops,  in- 
cluding the  commanding  officer,  and  the  senior  medical  officer  of  the 
army  present. 

REJECTED  RECRUITS. 

1457.  In  all  cases  of  rejection,  the  reasons  therefor  will  be  stated  at 
large  in  a  special  report,  to  be  made  by  the  board  ;  which,  together  with 
the  surgeon's  certificate  of  disability  for  service,  will  be  forwarded  by 
the  superintendent  or  commandant  of  tiie  post  direct  to  the  Adjutant 
and  Inspector  General.  In  all  such  cases,  the  commanding  officer  will 
cause  the  articles  of  clothing  which  may  have  been  issued  to  the  re- 
cruit, with  the  price  of  each  article,  to  be  endorsed  on  the  certificate  of 
disability.  If  the  recommendation  of  the  board  for  the  discharge  of  the 
recruit  be  approved,  the  authority  therefor  will  be  endorsed  on  thg 
certificate,  which  will  be  sent  "back  to  be  filled  up  and  signed  by  the 
commanding  officer,  who  will  return  the  same  to  the  Adjutant  and  In- 
spector General's  office. 

1458.  The  board  will  state  in  the  report  whether  the  disability,  or 
other  cause  of  rejection,  existed  before  hi.s  enlistment,  and  whether, 
vilih  proper  cafe  and  examination,  it  might  not  have  been  discovered. 

RECRUITS    SENT    TO    REGIMENTS. 

1459.  An  officer  entrusted  with  the  command  of  recruits  ordered  to 


RECRUITING    SERVICE.  396

lowing papers:

each,  a  descriptive  roll  and  an  account  of  clothing  of  such  men  as  may 
have  deserted,  died,  or  been  left  ontlie  route  from  any  cause  whatever, 
with  date  and  place;  also,  a  special  report  of  the  date  of  his  arrival  at 
the  post,  the  strength  and  condition  of  the  detachment  when  turned 
over  to  tho  commanding  officer,  and  all  circumstances  worthy  of  remark 
which  may  have  occurred  on  the  march. 

2.  To  the  Commanding  Officer^ of  the  regiment  or  post,  the  muster 
and  descriptive  roll  furnished  him  at  the  time  of  setting  out,  properly 
signed  and  completed  by  recording  the  names  of  the  recruits  present, 
and  by  noting  in  the  column  for  remarks,  opposite  the  appropriate 
spaces,  the  time  and  place  of  death,  desertion,  apprehension,  or  other 
casualty  that  may  have  occurred  on^he  route. 

14G0.  Should  an  officer  be  relieved  in-  charge  of  a  detachment  en 
route,  before  it  reaches  its  destination,  the  date  and  place,  and  name  of 
the  officer  by  whom  it  is  relieved,  must  be  recorded  on  the  detachment 
roll.  Without  the  evidence  of  such  record,  no  charge  for  extra  pay  for 
clothing  accountability  of  a  detachment  equal  to  a  company  will  be  al- 
lowed. 

1461.  Tho  "original  muster  and  descriptive  roll"  of  every  detach- 
ment, with  remarks  showing  the  final  disposition  of  each  recruit,  and

will  be  signed  and  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  by 
the  commanding  oflBcer  wiio  makes  the  assignment.  If  the  recruits 
embraced  in  one  roll  happen  to  be  assigned  to  different  posts,  the  origi- 
nal roll  is  to  continue  with  the  last  detachment  to  its  destination,  each 
commander  completing  it  so  far;i8  concerns  the  recruits  left  at  his  post. 
When  tliis  is  not  practicable,  extracts  from  the  original  roll  are  to  be 
made  by  tlio  authority  which  diotribntos  the  recruits,  to  accompany  the 
several  detachments  and  to  be  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector 
General  as  in  case  of  the  original  roll.

its  establishment,  for  which  purpose  he  will  obtain  the  necessary  funds, 
clothing,  ifcc,  by  requisition  to  the  Adjutant  General. 

14C4.  At  every  station  t)Ccupiod  by  his  regiment,  or  any  part  of  it, 
the  colonel  will  designate  a  suitable  officer  to  attend  to  tho  recruiting 
duties;  which  selection  will  not  relieve  such  officer  from  his  company 
or  other  ordinary  duties.  Tlie  officer  thus  designated  will  be  kept  con- 
stantly furnisiied  with  funds,  and,  when  necessary,  with  clothing  and 
camp  equipage.     (See  paragraph  1441.)
